Ashton Canal, Audenshaw Manchester

Don't know if its already been reported, but there is a cabin cruiser (maybe 20 footer) sunk about 200 yards west of Bridge 19 on the way into Manchester on the Ashton Canal. it actually sank about 6 months ago, but I pass over bridge 19 (A635 Ashton to Manchester road) every day on the way to work, and as it is now almost completely submerged, I thought it advisable to warn other boaters. Some public-spirited soul has placed a traffic cone over the metal railing at the bows but it still isn't that visible.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

We're heading that way.

Checked a few days ago and the sunken boat had gone, so well done CRT or whoever. There is no sign of the cabin cruiser at all.

Saw a boat moored about on the spot at the back of the Pearl Asian Restaurant yesterday evening (Wednesday 5.30 pm). was that you and did you find there was any problem?

Definitely no sunken boat, or moored boat, there on Tuesday pm.
