Canal Basin


(Click photo for larger version. Press Back button to return here.)

"C" is for "Canal" and there are three canals in Ashton.

The scene above shows Portland Basin, the junction of the Ashton Canal with the Peak Forest Canal. The photo was taken a few weeks ago when we were experiencing snow and ice.

See Birds Eye View of this location.

"Canal Basin" is a contribution to ABC Wednesday. For more "C" posts from around the world please follow this link.

  11. I like the structures in the background. Interesting colours too, (including the reflection on those little patches of icy water on the road).
