Lilies on an old reservoir
The lilies are smaller than on the nearby reservoir, but this one is used for fishing by the Radcliffe Angling Society. There are fishing platforms to the left. On the hill ahead is Ainsworth Hall Farm.

Textile finishing machinery, Red Bridge Mills, Ainsworth
This site was operated by Stephen Glaister Ltd until 1985 when the company was liquidated. It is believed the works has been demolished. The machinery is a set of cloth drying cylinder (or "tins") and it was driven by a small diagonal duplex steam engine, now scrapped. Photographed in operation.
Sadly, I didn't photograph the works.

Steam engine, Red Bridge Mills, Ainsworth
Diagonal duplex steam engine by Duncan Stewart & Co (1902) Ltd of Glasgow. Swathed in steam from leaking glands, this was hard at work driving a set of drying cylinders for fabric. This was typical of the textile dyeing and finishing trades. Now long since scrapped - the works closed in 1985.

Old Wood Lane
As with many old lanes, this one is not in good condition, and the waterlogged area ahead is not passable on foot. You have to divert through the field to the right.
