Macclesfield Canal near Scholar Green in Cheshire Looking south-south-west near Ramsdell Hall.
The bridge half a mile to the north is called Rowndes No 2 Bridge, No 86 on current Macclesfield Canal numbering. Is the narrowing ahead here the site of a former Rowndes No 1 Bridge? The position is not included as No 87, which is allocated to Kent Green Bridge, to the south-west. Late Victorian OS maps show a track leading directly to this spot, but already no bridge.

Hall Green Stop Lock near Scholar Green, Cheshire Looking north-north-east towards Congleton.
The stop lock here separated the Macclesfield Canal (ahead) from the Trent and Mersey Canal (behind), with a rise of just twelve inches (30·5 cm). This was to ensure that the later Macclesfield Canal did not "steal" water from the Trent and Mersey Canal!
The water between here and Hardings Wood Junction is now generally considered to be part of the Macclesfield Canal.
