Winterbutlee Lock, No 30, is behind and to the right of the photographer. The houses on the left are on the main road, (Rochdale Road). The spire of St. Peter's Church is visible, right of centre, and the corner of Birks Mill is in front of it, with the remains of Nip Square Lock No 29 nearby, but not easily visible as the canal had not at that time been restored. For a modern view of the same scene after the recent restoration, see Image
