Friday 26th February 2016 – Ashton-Under-Lyne / Dukinfield
Blown away by some of the architecture here – only regret that I didn’t make it to those buildings I could see in the distance – views down streets and across Canals. Cavendish Mills and the Old Swimming Baths, just two of the landmarks I will have to wait to see up close.
Make my way across town towards Dukinfield, where I am staying at Barton Villa. Crossing the Ashton Canal and then the River Tame. The two waterways are very intertwined at this point and sit metres apart.
