The Peak Forest Canal approaching the winding hole (an area widened out to allow craft to turn round) in Hyde. On the left is the M67 motorway. Ahead is a 19th century warehouse and behind that a train can be seen on the Manchester to Rose Hill railway. The sluice gate on the right allows water to run off into Wilson Brook. The houses behind the fence are part of Moorfield Place which was built on the site of the former Automasters Engineering Works.
