Thank you so much for making this history available and bringing the old canal to life. I spend a lot of time walking and running in Daisy Nook (and indeed right along the old Hollinwood branch from Droylsden) and now I’ve found these photos and facts I can’t wait to show my kids next time we are out.

This is a very pleasant place for a walk anyway, but these photos and stories really add an extra interest if you like to know about the past.
