The original photographic survey was undertaken in 1986 whilst walking all the accessible sections of the canals from East to West.

Since the summer of 2002 all the locations photographed have been re-visited (where access has been permitted), and as a result, the majority of the photographs have been updated. These reflect the changing condition of the canals over the intervening years, either through further deterioration, or in many cases, as the result of restoration or conservation work.

In some cases, an 'out of date' photo has been left in the index. This has been done where it better illustrates the subject matter of the photo (where, say, undergrowth now obscures the view), or where access to the site is restricted (ie. private property).

The process of updating the photos will continue through the canals' eventual restoration.
