Canal

Peter said "There's an awful lot of Manchester industrial nastiness I have yet to see." Well, a little less now.

Five train journeys, no ticket inspection on four of them: good augury. By foot, Manchester Picadilly to Stalybridge up the Ashton and Huddersfield.

Some highlights:

1. Byelaw 41. We never encountered 1-40.
   
2. Leisure facility - just a sample, there was more. They had drained the pound, which was a headache for the pensioner couple attempting to get a boat in ...
   
3. Bicycle rack, working well.
   
4. Notice of the day: Pedestrians diverted from A to B, cyclists diverted from A to C.
   
5. Communist: Droylsden library is an art deco gem.
   
6. Roger Hannah (yada yada).
   
7. Chimney up; chimney down. Many chimneys. Many fewer than once.
   
8. Be 28.
   

Foiled on my [second] attempt to visit Ashton Museum ... closed on Mondays. Chip shops used to close on Mondays.
