Beefsteak 305 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Canal street/Castle Boulevarde (to the boats on the Trent) the river being diverted into the canal to build the road(it used to run at the foot of castle rock) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 386 Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Give that man an oxo cube! Modes of transport The road which is now called Canal Street used to be a river, the River Lean, where prisoners were ferried down on their way to being transported to Australia.

Bip 88 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Was that the very same river leen that Caz travelled down when she got transported to the penal colonies back in the 70s? if so £10s seems a fare price to pay. Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
