On the far bank, extreme left of the photo, can be seen a bridge which now, with many years' hindsight, I suspect may be the end of the disused Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal. Local knowledge would need to confirm that. Date of this is uncertain but I would guess December 1982; certainly within 12 months either side of that date.
