Pleasant canal-side properties in Audenshaw.
Approaching the M60 motorway bridge in Audenshaw, with a hazy glimpse of the Pennines in the distance.
Passing the Ashton Packet Boat Company's Guide Bridge boatyard, the change-over point for Shire Cruisers' cross-Pennine hire boats.
Looking west to the Hanover Street bridge (China Bridge), Audenshaw. In this area, boats were once loaded with coal from the pits around Ashton Moss to the right of the picture. In 1882, the Ashton Moss Colliery was the deepest pit in the world.
This charmless bridge carries the new motorway link road from Guide Bridge to Ashton Moss.
