....The Macclesfield Canal at Bollington was built in the early 19th century by Thomas Telford to serve as a main transport link to the many mills and factories that ran alongside the canals. The barges were of course originally pulled by horses. This is one of many bridges that allowed the horse to cross to the other side so that it was not pulling on the same side all the time. See the link above for more information.

Very nice image. The bridge is the perfect frame for it and the ducks are very nice. Very interesting train-ship, but I do not see a link. Smile.

Now this is neat Patti...I like the way it's 'framed' looking toward the barge!...We were just browsing some brochures on these, to decide on a holiday on them!...But, I don't think I could mange the lock-gates!.....
Thanks for this great post!

WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
A nice picture, well done.

I really like the way you took this shot Patti. It looks really great "peeking" through the bridge. Interesting link also.

Such interesting history Patti and a great capture. Like the feeling of 'tunnel vision' :) Good job.

Those long boats are a real curosity for me. I have never seen them until you and several others started posting them. What are they used for? Pat

Good thinking to let the tunnel frame the pic for you, Patti. My Dad is planning a canal tour in Europe so I'm sending this to him to view also. It should serve to get his antipication up even higher than it is now! Another wonderful shot -
