That would indeed be a shame. It's a fine old building. I wonder that it isn't listed.
By the way, how do the canals fare when all the rest of the country is getting flooded? Are there sufficient run offs, basins and other controls to prevent them overflowing too?
VallyP, that's funny, I've very recently responded to one of Heather's posts on her Takey Tezey blog about what happens when there's a lot of rain on a canal (her post is here: http://takeytezey.blogspot.com/2009/11/where-do-they-go.html )
Here's the relevant bit of my comment as posted there:
Hi Heather, all the locks should have bywashes to take excess water downstream. Long pounds usually have overflow weirs to get rid of excess rainwater too.
