Shores Clough

Valley in Cheshire

Shores Clough

Bridge 30 Macclesfield Canal When the canals (or railways) were built in the 18th and 19th centuries, they were often routed in such a way that farmers and other landowners had their land bisected, so bridges had to be provided to allow access to fields on both sides of the canal. These bridges are frequently referred to as accommodation bridges, and however solid and well constructed, often don't lead anywhere except from one field to another.

Sluice on the Macclesfield Canal, Hurdsfield The Macclesfield Canal is just over 27 miles in length, and has thirteen locks, including the stop lock at Hall Green and the other twelve at Bosley. The canal was surveyed by Thomas Telford in 1825, then engineered by William Crosley, and opened on 9 November 1831 at a cost of £320,000. It joins the Trent and Mersey Canal at Hall Green to the Peak Forest Canal at Marple.

Macclesfield Hibel Road railway station (site), Cheshire Opened in 1849 by the London & North Western Railway on what is now the line from Manchester to Stafford, this station closed in 1960 when services were transferred to the current station some 500m south of here, behind the camera position. View north from Hibel Road bridge, where the booking office was located. The whole location was very cramped, with an engine shed and turntable having been located on the right of the image. The bare patch of ground centre right was the approximate site of a temporary passenger station when the line from Marple was opened in 1869. The LNWR weren't interested in having a joint station, so services were transferred to a new "Central" station (where the current Macclesfield station is) in 1873 but the 1869 station continued as a good station until 1969.
