Ashton Basin [LC]

Looking towards Preston city centre along the Lancaster Canal at Ashton Basin, accessed under the towpath bridge seen here, in September 2022. The canal now finishes at the trees in the middle distance. Beyond that was the long-demolished embankment over Aqueduct St, which was removed in the 1960s after the final mile into the Preston wharves was drained. The lowest numbered bridge on the Lancaster Canal is now No.11
