![Manchester, Bury & Bolton Canal. This section of the canal has been dry since the canal was breached in 1936. As there was no through traffic, the breach was never repaired although a dam (just visible in this photograph) was built to permit the canal from Ladyshore to Bury to continue in use (which it did until the 1950s, finally being officially closed in 1961).

The canal towpath is to the left; the main paper mill complex was also to the left, lower down the valley, above the River Irwell. I'm not sure when the building over the canal was demolished; the mill closed at the end of 2004 and this building was still standing (though empty) as late as 2009 (http://www.urbexforums.com/showthread.php/5517-Creams-paper-Mill-Little-Lever-(Nr-Bolton)-Sep-09 photos taken September 2009). by David Dixon – 22 January 2013](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/31/31/3313195_1b22a536_120x120.jpg)
