The Hidden Gem Of Nottingham
Every day people walk past the canal, over bridges or on the pavements above it. There are roads that pass along side it and even a supermarket next to it. However, the Nottingham Canal is one of the most unmentioned features of the city.
Despite having an extensive past and playing a prominent part in the history of the city, it seems that the canal has fallen into being something which is mostly known only by those who live on it. To the rest of us, it may be a known part of Nottingham, albeit a likely unappreciated and underestimated one. However to many it may not even exist.
The canal itself is big, providing 15 miles of water to follow, yet only small sections of this are likely to be known by those claim to know of the canal. For example, many people, myself included till not too long ago, did not think of the canal past the section which passes the Magistrates Court.
From this, it is fair to suggest that the canal is almost a secret of the city, hidden in plain sight, and this is one of my initial thoughts on it.
