This is the Macclesfield Canal, looking north-north-west. Ahead, beyond the railway bridge, is Galleys Bridge, No 70.
The railway line links Stoke-on-Trent with Macclesfield. It is part of the Stafford to Manchester branch of the West Coast Main Line.
The Macclesfield Canal

The Macclesfield Canal is just over 27 miles in length, and has thirteen locks, including the stop lock at Hall Green and the other twelve at Bosley. The canal was surveyed by Thomas Telford in 1825, then engineered by William Crosley, and opened on 9 November 1831 at a cost of £320,000. It joins the Trent and Mersey Canal at Hall Green to the Peak Forest Canal at Marple.
