The bridge in the distance is the road bridge at lower Ince (Shepards Arm's)In 1989 you would find me riding mi bike along this towpath on mi way to Triangle Valve.
I took a pic nearly 20 years later from more or less the same spot: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/852810
The towpath under the bridge was widened in the late 90s, and 'improved' by the laying of those brick blocks. I think it looked far better in 1989 - green fingers of countryside pushing into the town, rather than the town centre pedestrian area pushing the countryside back.
