  • The Peak Forest
    WW GUIDE THE PEAK FOREST AND ASHTON CANALS You begin in urban Manchester – and 21 miles later, you’re in a historic basin in the glorious Peak District, moored up beside a real pub. Richard Fairhurst savours a fine canal journey The Ashton Canal FOR MANY YEARS, THE ASHTON CANAL was synonymous with all that was wrong with urban waterways. The 1896 Oarsman’s Guide was uncompromising: “Its course is entirely through a manufacturing district with the usual unpleasant surroundings. The vapour rising from its waters caused by the factories on the banks, condensing their exhaust Bugsworth steam therein, is sometimes so thick as Basin. to make it diffi cult to see one’s way.” Downloaded by David A Calverley from waterwaysworld.com June 2012 Waterways World 71 WW GUIDE 1 1 Ancoats Lock 1 – By the 1960s, its star had sunk lower note the duplicated still. Though never formally closed, it was chamber. totally unnavigable: its channel dry, its lock-gates rotten or swinging loose. Local councillors and anxious parents demanded its infi lling. Its branches to Stockport and Hollinwood were abandoned, and the main line, like so many industrial urban waterways, looked set to go the same way. What saved it was an idea fi rst hatched in 1965: the Cheshire Ring. Adventurous holidaymakers were beginning to discover the canal system, and circular routes were perfect for a week’s holiday. The Ashton and adjacent canals would provide the ‘missing link’ in one such route. Volunteers from the Peak Forest Canal Society, the Inland Waterways Association, and (latterly) the new Waterway Recovery 2 Group set about bringing the canal back to life.
