Regents Canal temporary closure 2

The Regents Canal is dammed by the Gasometers in Cambridge Heath, East London for repairs to the canal walls. The canal and towpath between the gasometers and the Old Ford Lock is closed for 8 weeks from early February. The rainwater seems to be filling up the canal again.

A week earlier, the gasometers were fuller.
