 Brewery St

 Tarn Side

 

 

 Hart St

 

 

  The monument to Sir John Barrow on Hoad Hill is a copy of the Eddystone Lighthouse
 
 

 

Canal St is the busy main road (A590) to Ulverston 

 

 

and it leads to the basin of the Ulverston Canal 

Which isn't really as large as it looks in this picture 

The canal, built to bring largish vessels to the town from the Leven estuary claims to be the deepest,

widest and straightest canal in the UK. It is shallower and narrower than the Manchester Ship Canal and

at 1 mile 3 furlongs (2.2km) is longer than the Wardle Lock Branch of the Trent & Mersey Canal, but it is straight  

Opened in 1796, it closed in 1945,
