Another day and another lockdown walk but with a bit of an industrial theme this time.
A walk along the Leeds to Liverpool Canal from Shipley to Saltaire, calling for a takeaway coffee from The Saltaire Bakery and then back following the River Aire and the Sculpture Trail (which is mainly aimed at young children).
There has been lots of renovation work on the old mills and buildings bordering the canal over the decades but a few are still in need of some TLC, in fact a couple are very close to being derelict. I suppose money is scarce these days though and people/councils have other thing to prioritize on.
Saltaire seems to be thriving still and has lots of interesting shops, bars and cafes but it is just a shame that most are closed due to the lockdown.
The towpath was very quiet and everyone was adhering to social distancing. It was a very interesting and varied walk.
