Crossing Canals

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.
