caption_attribution_description: This image is looking East. Pilkington's is on the right. Fletcher's Canal is in the foreground and ends at the towpath bridge. Clifton Aqueduct is just to the left of the towpath bridge, which crosses the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal (which continues on underneath Clifton Viaduct which can be seen in the background).
context_page_description: Fletcher's Canal was a 1.5-mile long canal in Greater Manchester, which connected the Wet Earth Colliery to the Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal at Clifton Aqueduct. The canal is now derelict and no longer used.
  The canal was built on the south bank of the River Irwell through the area now known as Clifton Country Park. West of Pilkington's long sections of the canal are evident, although none of these sections hold water. As the canal passes through Clifton Country Park a footpath is maintained along the former towpath. Some of the original features are still evident, albeit in extremely poor condition.
