Looking upstream from Station Road bridge. The Beal is rather a sad little river. Rising in the hills above Shaw and polluted almost from birth, it struggles down through New Hey and Milnrow to disgorge into the River Roch at Belfield, whence its waters join first the Irwell and then the Mersey before becoming part of the Irish Sea.
