Looking north towards Marple.
This is the Macclesfield Canal, south of Brownhills Bridge, No 15. The canal is wide here, like an elongated lake, because of mining subsidence. It is a lovely scene and justly popular as a mooring spot, though many of these beautiful craft today were built by the nearby Braidbar boatbuilders. I see (2019) the nearby pub has (usually) good reviews.
