Roadworks have been taking place at the junction of Knightsbridge and Great Portwood Street to assist traffic flow in the area. Now that part is mostly complete the land beside the River Goyt is being landscaped. Heavy machinery is creating a pathway below the banking. A large tree appears to have fallen across the width of the river.

River Goyt (provided by David Dixon)

The Goyt rises on the moors of Axe Edge, near the Cat and Fiddle Inn. It runs from the Errwood and Fernilee reservoirs, north of Buxton to Stockport where it joins the River Tame Link to form the Mersey.

It is also fed by the River Etherow which flows from the Woodhead reservoirs and joins near Marple Bridge, the River Sett which joins at New Mills and Todd Brook which joins at Horwich End.
