SJ7697 : Ship Canal at Barton

Eccles, Salford, Great Britain

Ship Canal at Barton
Ship Canal at Barton
Looking east along the Manchester Ship Canal at Barton upon Irwell. Barton Road Bridge in the distance. Forty years ago, as a child, I played here. No swans then. The canal was murky and smelly with a thick oily layer over the water and the banks were coated with an oily residue. Now there are fish in the water!
