View of Lockkeepers Cottage at the twin locks in Appley Bridge, as if going to Parbold.
The cottage would have been on your left hand side.
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.
