Opening up the riverbank

Ten years ago all that could be seen from Park Bridge SJ8990 : River Goyt was the River Goyt with trees overhanging the low walled banks and the tower blocks in the distance. Now that a new road layout has created an easier turn on to the A560 from Knightsbridge into Great Portwood Street, the riverside is opened up. The land alongside has been levelled out and some steps leading down erected.

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.
