South of Ashton Old Road, the site of an old boiler works is a wide grassy area. The path dollows the route of the canal.
A short distance to the south, Crabcroft Bridge carries Ogden Street across the canal line.
Just south of Crabcroft Bridge, is this bridge which carried the towpath across the entrance to a short arm that served the Ashton Canal Company's Gorton Maintenance Yard. The bridge was constructed in 1864.
The keystone of the towpath bridge at Gorton Maintenance Yard has been carved into the shape of a face. The yard closed in 1962.
The canal crossed the Manchester to Sheffield railway over Gorton Aqueduct. There was originally a brick aqueduct here but, when the railway was widened to 4 tracks, this steel aqueduct was built to replace it.
The canal route continues southwards with King George V Playing Field on the right and Longford Street on the left.
