Bardsley bridge carries the A627 over the river Medlock from Ashton-under-Lyne to Oldham. I showed you the Ashton side when I took you to Riversvale Drive. First though, I walked to the Oldham side and took a look at the Fairbottom Branch Canal.
The water-filled section of the canal ends here, but it used to extend for a further half mile under this little canal bridge.
This is the other side of the bridge. The towpath was a bit muddy but I managed to walk through without undue difficulty.
This is the footpath that leads on towards Park Bridge. I didn't attempt it, but took the steps back onto Bardsley Bridge itself.
