Looking from just north of the Motorway, towards the new bridge (number 65a) built to provide access to land on the west side of the canal. The towpath crosses the bridge to change sides via this bridge. Originally a swing bridge crossed the canal roughly where the motorway now is. The canal widens on the left forming a "layby" to where the floating towpath pontoon is moved to allow full width boats to pass through the tunnel Image], it is not a mooring for boats! http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/rochdale/rc8b.htm Pennine Waterways Virtual Journey Along The Rochdale Canal
