Old Milestone, Peak Forest Canal
On the far side of Lock 15, in 1896 it would have been located on the towpath side. The destination would have been most likely Duckinfield. Portland Basin or Ashton Canal is too long for the chiselled-out lettering (WWII anti-invasion measures).

Canalside garden by Marple Locks, Stockport
The short pound above Lock No 15 has an eighty metre open side pond resembling a short arm (shown here) to assist with water management. The south side has been transformed into a colourful garden. The lock is off to the left, with Top Lock off to the right.
The Marple flight on the Peak Forest Canal 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 the locks. A temporary tramway was installed and used until 1804, when the locks were completed.
The short pounds between Locks 13 to 16 include large open side ponds to assist with water management.
