RE: Canal Side Mooring - The Hat Factory

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Our canals are fascinating and often where they pass through old defunct parts of our towns and cities, we find these kinds of places.

Parts of Reading are like this along the Kennet. Especially where the old biscuit factory was. Most of it has been regenerated though, in fact where the Oracle shopping centre is that used to be super decrepit!

That's an interesting building, indeed! I like the look of it and it has similar windows to the Hat Factory.

We passed through Reading in June and I remember that shopping centre. I never would have thought so. The locks on the Kent were some of the most difficult ones I have ever operated and lots of sections along the canal were overgrown.
It was still nice to experience a new area though:)))

I’ve heard that being said before; regarding its upkeep in places. I am keen to walk more sections of the K&A next year in order to get to know it better.

I think it's a beautiful experience walking along the trails since you get the chance to take in as much as you desire.
Let's hope you have a great year and do get around to it. :)
