On the left of the picture is the entrance to the Ashton Canal from the Rochdale Canal just east of Dale Street, close to Piccadilly Station. Beyong the bridge under Ducie Street is the location of the former large Ashton Canal Basin, much of which later became a railway goods yard.

The remnant of the former Ashton Canal Basin with the huge railway warehouse beyond.

Looking west to Jutland Street Bridge. The canal turns sharp right beyond the bridge to join the Rochdale Canal.

Looking east across Store Street Aqueduct towards Piccadilly Village.

Looking west along the canal at the new development called Piccadilly Village.
