Ashton Canal Bridge #1

Bridge #1 carries Ducie Street over the canal. Beyond the bridge is the Rochdale Canal. Apartments and offices line the sides the canal with footbridges crossing it. Just off the towpath in the shelter of the buildings are the homes of many "rough sleepers". I must have passed at least half a dozen including one sleeping dog following the towpath from under bridge #2. I kept my camera out of sight.
