Gin clear skies yesterday for a walk along the Manchester, Bolton & Bury canal at Nob End.

 

Here the canal crosses a river on a aqueduct, takes a right angle turn up Nob End locks, the the junction at the top. The Meccano bridge is a triumph.

The boat in the drydock in the 1972 picture is very distinctive.

 

Here are the hotel boats Taurus and Snipe on the K&A in 2009 (being just-too long to go down the lock breasted).
