A626 road Bridge, Peak Forest Canal, Marple
The building, right centre, which looks as if it could have been a tollhouse, is in fact the lodge to Brabyns Hall, and is Grade 2 listed. The road is the A626, known here as Brabyns Brow. This is Bridge 17. I am indebted to Peter Royce for this information.

Marple Locks, Peak Forest Canal
The conservation of original canal buildings alongside can have an enhancing effect on the environment as is seen here with this small warehouse.

The large building behind carries the name "Lockside Mill"; it was built in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth century as a warehouse for Samuel Oldknow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Oldknow )

Marple Locks No 9, Stockport
Lock No 9. Looking north towards Stockport and Manchester.
The Marple flight consists of sixteen deep locks in a mile. The total fall (or rise) provided is 209ft 6in (almost 64 metres). The canal was opened to navigation by 1796 but not enough money remained to build these locks. A temporary tramway was installed and used until 1804, when the locks were completed.
