Bridgewater Canal, Crane and Board, Leigh
This crane, situated near Leigh Bridge, at the western end of the Bridgewater Canal, is one of several which are located at intervals along the canal's length to allow boards to be dropped into slots in the banks. These allow sections of the canal to be isolated in the event of a leak. If you look carefully, you can see the slot in the bank just below the crane.

Apart from the addition of some faux industrial extensions, these buildings, now a pub, are pretty much the same as they were back in 1976 Image] when I was last here.
