Meanwhile, it would be better if they showed junctions (such as the one near Park Royal) as a junction, otherwise it looks like a flyover (which do exist on the waterways). It's also a shame they don't show "Bow Locks" (say it quickly) one of the best names on the waterways ![]() -- Roland Perry |

They do indeed, there's one in Park Royal, which they correctly show. |

2011, d remarked: I wonder if its always been on some sort of viaduct there or the north circular burrowed under it when it was widened? Looking it up this time (rather than relying on memory) the current structure was built in 1993, replacing an earlier 30's aqueduct. What that doesn't tell us is what was there before the 1930's and it would be necessary to look at some old maps of the area. -- Roland Perry |

Bartholomew's Handy Reference Atlas of 1925 shows the newly built North Circular passing OVER the canal on a fairly narrow bridge (the North Circular at that time was a rather modest road running from SW from Golders Green - it simply petered out at Park Royal). -- Paul Terry |

It is now a dual three-lane carriageway ... .... that simply peters out at Park Royal. ;-) |
