Waterhouses Aqueduct, Daisy Nook
The Canal
The Hollinwood Branch of the Ashton Canal ran from Fairfield in Droylsden, through Littlemoss and Daisy Nook Country Park to Hollinwood and Butler Green, with a branch from Daisy Nook to Fairbottom.
The canal's location lies between Manchester, Ashton under Lyne and Oldham in the north west of England.
The canal included four aqueducts and eight locks, including a two-rise lock staircase.
The Society
The society aims to see the protection of the line of the canal, the preservation of the remaining heritage, the restoration of the canals within Daisy Nook Country Park and the re-connection of Daisy Nook with the Ashton Canal.
The society would like to see the canal route protected as a green corridor for walking, cycling, fishing and eventually boating between Droylsden and Daisy Nook. It would like to see the route protected between Crime Lake and Hollinwood, providing a green and pleasant route linking the built-up areas to the countryside.
