Little Clegg Swing Bridge
The swing bridge at Little Clegg on the Rochdale Canal near Smithy Bridge.
The Rochdale Canal was completed in 1804 and covers 32 miles with 91 locks between Sowerby Bridge near Halifax and the Castlefield Basin, Manchester. Commercial use of the canal peaked in 1880 at about 50 boats a day but the last loaded barge travelled its full length in 1937 and from then on it fell into disrepair. The canal reopened in 2002 after a few years of refurbishment and is now used almost exclusively for leisure purposes.

Little Clegg Farm, Littleborough, Lancashire
This farmhouse has been thoroughly modernised, and is now almost engulfed by modern housing to the north of it, which has spread around Smithy Bridge station because of the ease of commuting to Manchester from here.
