New development of houses off Shay Lane, Walton, on the line of Walton Locks, seen from the site of the former Soap House Bridge.

The housing development is even named "Walton Locks"!

On the south side of Shay Lane, the towpath remains as a footpath but gardens and a driveway to houses occupy the site of the canal. The seventh lock in the Walton flight was situated where the low fence now stands.

The route continues across a green area.

Looking back towards Shay Lane.

The line of the canal can be followed between two housing estates. The eighth lock was situated here.
