We have a copy of this image in the RCHS collection, but unfortunately no date on the back , or description. It will be useful if a date could be found

Oh come on - it cant be before 1837 cos the vegetation has grown up on the rocks! And yes, its immediately to the north of the Tunnel at Gnosall.

I believe this photo to have been taken 1904/12 as I.m pretty sure that the man holding the second horse is my paternal great grandfather.I need to find some old photo s to check, as he worked for the canal during that period, He was one of the many that did not return from WW1
