Gongoozlers

Have you ever had the feeling you are being watched?

There you are, enjoying the peace and solitude of the canal when suddenly you get the feeling there are eyes on you...

This picture shows gongoozling youngsters enjoy the diversion of watching a narrowboat pass through Fairfield Lock on the Ashton Canal in Droylsden.

The graceful stone arch enabled boat horses to cross the canal to reach the towing path of the Hollinwood Branch Canal which began just above this lock.
