ABC Wednesday - F is for Fairfield Junction
Fairfield Junction lies on the Ashton Canal at Droylsden.
Here the canal divides into two. The main canal forks right towards Ashton, whilst the left hand side used to lead to the Hollinwood Canal.
That canal was closed and most of its length filled in. Now it leads into the Droylsden Marina opened in 2008 but still under development.
Meanwhile here is looking back at the canal as it heads towards Manchester.

These were lovely pictures and I enjoyed the info :)
I would have loved both walking along the canals - and being in a boat on them. They are marvels of construction.
I love bridges; nice pics.
Marvelous shots! I love bridges and canals too, and this looks like such a lovely place to walk or have a boat ride!
Have a great day!

Nice views of these canals....I hope I get to see them someday...
Lovely shots of the canals and the bridges over them.
I imagine you in your narrow boat seeing the sights!
Beautiful photographs of the canals and lovely stone bridges at Fairfield Junction. What lovely scenic views and places to walk ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Always enjoy seeing your places of interest. :D
As always, glorious photographs! I particularly liked the bridge and steps -
the bridge is beautiful! a perfect place for those walks. and thanks for the info about the junction. :D
Marvelous introduction and beautiful photos.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful pictures, - always enjoy the places you photograph.
There's something quite magical about canals, isn't there? Love the old stone bridge with the steps underneath!
Very interesting information--I really like that last close-up of the steps to the canal. On behalf of the ABC team, thanks for sharing!
Looks like a lovely section of canal. Shame, like so many other, sections have been lost. although the marina looks quite ambitious.
Another wonderful spot to visit...
