Our map uses layers of interests that you can search to find what you want. Go for guidance on getting the best from our map.
Places of interest on our map might be identified by a pin, a shade or a line.
The map is first set to have all layers on which means there will be a lot of content with all interests and topics displayed.
If you want to create your own map according to the interests/topics you want to display on the map, simply choose select layers. This will take you to a searchable list where you can select the layers you wish to appear on the map.
After you have selected your layers, choose view map and the map will be adjusted to contain those places of interest as pins, shaded areas and lines on the map.
Should you want, at any time to search the places that are mapped, just select search map. This will take you to a list of everything contained on the map. Search through the full list or enter into the open text box, the name of the place you are looking for. Once you have made your selection, a brief description will appear in a pop up box. Here you can select feature and it will take you to more information.
The filter current map view allows you to view those places on the view of the map you have on your screen.

Starting at the Newhall Street Bridge and tunnel and heading east will take you down to where the canal passes under Brindley House. From here you eventually reach the tiny tunnel under the Livery Street Road Bridge and immediately into the cavernous Livery Street Rail Bridge Tunnel. A spiral staircase will take you back up onto Livery Street.
To start the trail, take the steps down from Newhall Street to the canal towpath. Alternatively join the canal from Fleet Street by crossing the bridge opposite the Michell's and Butler building.

Looking back the other way (west).
Here's the canal as you emerge underneath Brindley House.
Here we look back at the tunnel under Ludgate Hill.
This is the much smaller Livery Street Road tunnel which sits directly alongside the cavernous rail tunnel.
Here we looki back from the Liver Street road tunnel.
Now we emerge into the massive rail tunnel.
Here there is a spiral staircase up to Livery Street.
