My landscape was post-industrial, too. Old abandoned brickworks and quarries behind the trees close to home, railway bridges with no tracks by which to cross the Amber valley unseen, tracks through the woods where the carts used to feed the lime works. But all that was part of the experience - as children, we just accept what's there and get on with exploring it. Canals, now, are seen as places for leisure and wildlife, but they were dug for industry, which is why many still offer corridors into nature from towns and cities. Whilst studying in Loughborough, I would walk along the canal towpath to the River Soar, going from red bricks to green rushes in half an hour. There was a pub called the Albion (it has another name now) on Canal Bank, which was just far enough out of town not to be full of noise and racket, and just near enough for a regular visit, coupled with a walk. Was only talking about that place last night, as it happens, in a Beverley pub, with two neighbours.
