Stockport Road bridge from Lock 12
Looking towards Stockport Road bridge, near the Navigation Inn in Marple, from Lock 12. A narrow pedestrian path below the bridge leads to even narrower steps up to Lock 13. The horses had to be untied to pass through a horse shaped tunnel alongside. Another bridge out of sight to the left led to a loading arm for the lime kilns.
