Ashton Canal, Clockhouse Swingbridge
Bridge #15 on the Ashton Canal is this swing bridge at Fairfield.
Droylsden had two 'Clockhouses', so the workers could know when it was time to awake for their toil in the mills. The north clockhouse was on Greenside Lane overlooking the Medlock Valley. The south clockhouse was near here at Yew Tree Farm, close to the Moravian Settlement. Apparently (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/william.mcdonald7/droylsden.htm All About Droylsden) there were only five clockhouses in the whole of Britain and Droylsden had two of them. Sadly they were allowed to disappear before their importance was realised.

Alleyway
Alley leading off Sirdar Street. Back alleyways like this were a common sight in Manchester and other great northern industrial cities. In the middle of the last century, large clearances started and now there are only relatively small pockets of this type of housing left.
