Appley Bridge - Then and Now
Photo: Kerry Balcer

The view up Appley Lane South, taken from the canal bridge. Notice the lack of houses on the left in the new photo and tree line on the hill in the background remains almost un-changed. I have used a photo from this site and then taken another photo(earlier this evening)from a similar spot to where the original was taken from, so the two can be compared.
