Meccano Bridge & Picnic Area Revisited.
The Meccano Bridge replaces a basic wooden bridge that allowed boatmen and horses to cross the top chamber of the Prestolee flight of locks on the Manchester, Bury and Bolton Canal, where the towpath changes sides.
The canal is dry here caused by a large breach in the canal further up the canal in the direction of Bury. A rough footpath was built across the bed of the large, now dry, basin which had been provided to allow boats to turn into the Bolton Branch had to be used instead.
The scheme is intended to create better links between Little Lever and Moses Gate Country Park.
