Title
View of the old wooden bridge at Leamington Road. The view shows the bridge keepers house
Description
Several children stand on and beside the low wooden bridge crossing the canal at Leamington Road in Edinburgh. A row of tall tenement blocks and a church tower stand in the distance. Close to the bridge and along the canal towpath are low-rise buildings. The house closest to the bridge probably belongs to the Bridgekeeper. The water is very still and reflects the fencing and street light at the edge of the canal.

The Union Canal was opened in 1822. It ran from Tollcross in Edinburgh to meet the Forth and Clyde Canal at Falkirk, thus linking the capital to Glasgow. After extensive renovation in the 1990's the Canal is now a popular area for recreation, with non-commercial craft using the waterway and many cyclists, walkers and runners using the towpath.
