Approaching Albion Lock (#90) on the Rochdale Canal. On the right and reflected in the water is the Grade II listed Albion Warehouse https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1279694 originally built in the 1860s. Also on the right are some broken columns which would have supported now demolished warehouses alongside the canal. The Canal & River Trust have been carrying out repairs to the canal which was drained between locks 90 and 91. An Open Weekend gave visitors a chance to walk through the drained part of the canal.
