Gorell's Bridge, Rochdale Canal, Lancashire
When this photograph was taken, the Rochdale Canal had already been closed to navigation for some years, and it appeared that all hope of navigation ever being restored had been extinguished, when the whole area, including this bridge, was flattened with new road and motorway construction in the mid 1960s. However, a miracle happened, and a way for the canal was found through the new construction, and navigation was restored in 2003, (see Martin Clark's excellent picture).
