The photo is taken looking from Leigh, the locks under the bridge were all on the Abram side, the tow path is not there now it was moved when they altered the road

The Bridge is now red brick but here it looks like large stone. Along the top has also changed where the men are standing as it is part brick, part Iron. Looking from this angle The pub was the Red Lion but coming from the other direction (Abram) its says Dover Lock on the side. Great Pic though
