Windmill End Junction
We winded (turned) the boat at Leys Junction and headed back the way we came. We stopped at Merry Hill shopping Centre as we passed by, to top up with a few provisions from Sainsbury’s which we had spied close to the canal on our outward journey yesterday. We weren’t filming much today, as we’d filmed going outwards yesterday. Just the opportunity to capture a few extra shots at Delph Locks. I had to make sure the boat didn’t appear in any of them so I can edit them into a complete sequence and nobody will know they are different days. 
We reached Windmill End Junction by mid afternoon and were planning to reach Hawne Basin at the end of the Dudley No 2 Canal but it was very grey and starting to rain. We moored up at Windmill End Junction and we’ll finish the canal tomorrow morning when better weather is forecast (for us and the filming). I’d never been to Windmill End before (apart from passing through yesterday) but I’d seen photos of the old pump house. I knew it was there, just above the canal, with the chimney attached to the corner. 
The weather improved briefly and I walked up to the pump house to see if there was enough light for filming and was surprised to the the chimney wasn’t attached, but definitely free standing. It was vertical like the building – it’s just the wide angle lens that makes it looked tilted. The other classic views, including the bridges are also disappearing as the trees and vegetation grows. Don’t leave it too long if you want to capture these views yourself. Posted on Sunday, 2 September 2007 at 17:20 Comments (1)
