I think that the fact that it is a man made waterway, originally built simply for travel is being maintained and protected by man as if it were a natural waterway is quite interesting i.e. trying to enrich its wildlife etc. I also think the clash between the lengths that the Canal Trust are going to to maintain the canal in contrast to the ways in which it is slowly being destroyed by the billowing city that surrounds it and passers by is interesting also.
What the fisherman said about the ‘strange and wonderful people’ was interesting as I did come across a number of interesting characters on my journey. I could even make a book solely about this. I also found what he said about the paint factory burning down and polluting the river really interesting and I would like to research into this further.
I am really interested in what the taxi driver said about economy of the Leeds Dock area as it is a place I knew nothing abut prior to my trip. I am intrigued by all of the abandoned shops and factories, which still exist untouched since they were shut down.
