Summary
| Description |
Author - Tom Jeffs. Taken 14/4/08 on my cameraphone, multiple images stitched together to give a wider shot. The 1936 breach above Prestolee Locks is shown here. The image is taken standing above the breach, the water would have flowed away from the camera, down the steep hill towards the river Irwell which is below the horizon. The significance of the breach is demonstrated by the remains of the towpath and canal walls, to the left and right of the image. Although not obvious from this image, there is still much debris from the breach on the hillside. The wide angle of the shot may be deceiving - the photographer is actually stood on the same level as the canal bed. The landslip between the broken walls is clearly visible. Prestolee locks, pictured below, are just to the right of and below this vantage. |
