This is the Peak Forest Canal, looking north-west towards Thornsett Road Bridge, No 28. Curiously, this bridge now carries Albion Road*. The factory building on the right was the premises of John Hawthorn and Co, Millwrights and Engineers. Ahead is Brunswick Mill, with its chimney. *P. Whitehead writes: "The turnpike bridge over the canal was built in 1834 and initially it was called Thornsett Road Bridge but later this was changed to Albion Road Bridge to reflect the name of the turnpike through Warksmoor." http://www.pittdixon.go-plus.net/upfc-warksmoor-wharf/upfc-warksmoor-wharf.htm
