Map
From Daisyfield Dam to Daisyfield Railway Viaduct the
canal has been filled and the area
landscaped or in parts
lies under the access road that is a continuation of Wellington
Street.
The next section from Daisyfield
Railway Viaduct to
Bury
Wharf including Barlow's
Bridge is in private
ownership, as is the rest of the route to Lower Woodhill Road,
and for some of this length the canal lies buried under a concrete
access road.
Bury Wharf and buildings were
demolished during the construction of Bridge Trading Estate and
the connecting tunnel to Lower
Woodhill Road and
what was the site of Irwell Bridge Mills was demolished during
the construction of Bolton Road traffic improvement scheme.
Bury Council have acknowledged
that the canal is effectively lost from Daisyfield Dam to Lower
Woodhill Road and have made provision in the UDP for a possible
terminus on land upstream of Daisyfield Dam. |
