Cutting on the Bridgewater Canal, Lymm
There are no locks for 45 miles along the broad and relatively straight Bridgewater Canal, so occasionally there has to be a cutting.

Mute Swans Feeding on the Bridgewater Canal
The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a very large white waterbird. It has a long S-shaped neck, and an orange bill with black at the base of it. It breeds across most of the UK and may be seen anywhere there is a shallow lake, or a slow-flowing river or canal, even in urban areas and parks. This pair are feeding on the grass bank of the Bridgewater Canal - much better for them than dry bread thrown into the water by passers by (http://www.avianweb.com/swandiet.html - Feeding Swans, Geese and Ducks).
Mute Swans are less vocal than other swans but, despite the name, they are certainly not “mute”, making a variety of grunting, hoarse whistling, and snorting noises.

Lymm Slitting Mill
Restored remains of a "slitting mill", used to produce narrow strips of metal, used in (e.g.) nailmaking. Opened by 1751, it was abandoned by 1825 and excavated by industrial archaeologists in the 1970s and again in 2005. Described as "the best surviving example of a slitting mill in the country".
