Looking west from Lock 90 towards Lock 91.

Looking back towards Gaythorne Bridge from Lock 91. The railway arches on the left have cleverly been developed into a two tier shopping and restaurant area.

Lock 91, Tunnel Lock, and the short tunnel below Deansgate.

Looking westwards through the castellated railway viaduct towards Lock 92. The short canal arm to the right is the remainder of the tunnel constructed by Brindley that ran from below the Grocers' Warehouse in Castlefield. The water level of this tunnel had been about 8 feet below the present level. The tunnel link to Castlefield was sealed off when the Rochdale Canal was constructed. The Rochdale Canal itself originally ran through a shallow tunnel below the Duke of Bridgewater's fields at this point.

The short canal arm that was the former Bridgewater arm.
