ROCHDALE CANAL (MANCHESTER)
I was walking around Manchester city when i came across a rough narrow path that led to the Rochdale canal. I found 2 couples who decided to tour Manchester and the surrounding area, via the canal. What a great idea.
The Canal offers an alternative view to Manchester, rising as it does, mostly unseen by the bustling traffic above, and occasionally emerging into pleasant aspects where bystanders invariably stop to watch this ancient ritual enacted.
Towards the top of the flight, the canal tunnels beneath a 20 storey office block, into a subterranean cavern where the canal cuts through the enormous concrete pillars which support the building overhead.
The Rochdale Canal company was transferred across to the Waterways Trust in August 2000, and all running of the canal has been contracted out to British Waterways since then.
