This sign, depicting two workers on a wharfside, belongs to the Image located near Image, from which it gets its name. Congleton Wharf on the Macclesfield Canal was originally owned by the Macclesfield Canal Company and provided wharfage and warehousing, after the decline of the canal industry the wharf was allowed to go derelict. At the beginning of the 21st century developers rescued the one remaining building, converting it into flats and adding further dwellings on either side.
