Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal, Dam
To the west of here, the canal suffered a disastrous breach (on 6th July 1936). Water pressure carried away 20 yards of towpath and canal wall, depositing them in the valley below, thus emptying the canal. Because there was no through traffic, the breach was not repaired. This brick dam was built to permit the canal from Ladyshore to Bury to continue in use (which it did until the 1950s, finally being officially closed in 1961).

Manchester, Bury & Bolton Canal
This section of the canal has been dry since the canal was breached in 1936. As there was no through traffic, the breach was never repaired although a dam (just visible in this photograph) was built to permit the canal from Ladyshore to Bury to continue in use (which it did until the 1950s, finally being officially closed in 1961).
