 The eastern side of the Canal north of Coward Street is occupied by a series of former mid-twentieth-century woolstore buildings, now used for a variety of purposes (though some are derelict), which are recognised as heritage buildings.The course of the canal, at the southern end near the Cooks River, has been altered due to airport expansion.Sections of the stonework south of the railway bridge near the Tempe Reserve have been removed while the remainder is substantially intact.
