Portwood Cut

More scenes from the commute. This is Portwood Cut in Stockport. Not a navigation; James Harrison built it in 1796 to provide hydro power for his mills in Portwood, where that massive Tesco is now. The cut doesn't seem to be marked on maps or the A-Z any more, but look, it's still there, especially when it's been raining :-)

The water is shallow and clear
