Quite busy on the canal today with several narrowboats
doing the 'Cheshire Ring'.

Lock 16, near Edge Lane

A narrowboat waits in the queue....

....while 'Norton Priory' goes through the lock.

At Fairfield Locks

Meanwhile a faster form of transport is on its way to Droylsden and Ashton.
Newly laid track for the Metrolink tram on the main Manchester Road.
