Storymapping on the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal

In 2023, we worked with Rob Langdon of the Canal & River Trust who put together an excellent online storymap describing many of the features of the canal environment on the summit level between Hall Lane in Little Lever and Radcliffe and beyond.

The storymap can be accessed by clicking either image above or at Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal (arcgis.com) and includes narrative interpretation and superb photos, specially commissioned for the project. You can use it as an app on your phone, an active tool to explore the area, or just access it online to have a look at what you can see when you are planning to visit.

David Barnes, MBBCS Outreach Worker says, “the storymap is an excellent way to explore the canal and what it can offer for heritage, ecology and wellbeing. CRT have done an excellent job putting this together”.
