~ Return to Wendover ~ Buckland Wharf to Wendover

This section looks at views not featured in the original Wendover series, or even changes that have occured on the rest of the canal to Wendover


Bridge 5b was never featured in the original Wendover series, except as a fleeting glimpse in the view of the A41's Buckland Wharf crossing


Bridge plaque


This is the view of Bridge 5b from the previous series. Not much is it? The interesting thing is the trees on this side of the crossing have been cleared. On the other its the other way around with tree growth at full speed!

The Buckland Wharf armco tube is almost impossible to see for tree cover. Compare with the older scene (below) shown in the original Wendover series


Bridge 8 was not shown in the orginal series so here it is! Its about mid way between the end of the Green Park concrete channel section and Halton camp, and its known as Hare Lane, or Rose, bridge


The playing fields at Halton Camp are adjacent to the canal. No view of this was featured in the original Wendover series


A different perspective at Rothschild Bridge. Having a wide angle lens this time enabled this picture to be taken of the bridge with milepost 5 in the scene


A nicer view of the setting at Halton compared to the one in the original Wendover series! Actually the previous pictures were taken in the winter, so less pretty of course


A number of buildings in Halton have pictures on their walls. This one is on a cottage adjacent to the canal


A colourful scene at The Wides


The dimunitive footbridge at Rail Crossing now has a number plate, even if its one of those stick on ones! Actually it appears that all the bridges had been given proper metal plates but some have disappeared


Feathered friends at Wendover! A harder edging has been provided just before the winding hole and better access from the side road has been made
