Tinsley Viaduct, near Meadowhall, Sheffield, is a double-deck structure carrying the M1 on the top deck and a main road on the lower. The viaduct crosses the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal, the River Don and two railways.

Dist:0.2km<br/>On the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal,getting near the M1. Wasteland with buddleia, common centaury (the 5 petalled pink flower). Further on there are apple trees, and roses; a veritable garden.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Rabbits, fishermens' cars, walkers and cyclists - we all use this bit sometimes as it catches the sun where the towpath is in shade.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is more the sort of plant life I like to see along a canal, rather than Japanese Knot weed. I hope there is success with reducing the spread and prevalence of that wretched weed.

Dist:0.3km<br/>I hoped a bus would go across the bridge at the same time. When the tram system was first mooted and built, it was planned to reach Barnsley and Rotherham who helped with the cost. Its not that long ago that the cost to Barnsley and Rotherham was waived as the tram stops at Meadowhall shopping centre with no plans to expand for the foreseeable future..

Dist:0.3km<br/>Hopefully more towns and cities will renovate and re-open their canals. This long spur of canal is due to be dredged, but only after campaigners insisted work was required. They pointed out how shallow it had become, needed to be surveyed and pushed for funding from British Waterways, who are now due to become a charity, with implications for their own funds. With luck, this will lead to a successful working relationship between volunteers and the paid staff, as well as opening up the canal network for us all to enjoy.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The oldest building on the site with its frontage along Sheffield road is now gutted, with no roof or internal floors. It is still unclear if this is to be demolished like the rest of the buildings, or refurbished for other use. See also [[1645409]]
