Taking a horse to water at Aqueduct Cottage

Aqueduct Cottage in Bollington, Cheshire. The 18th and 19th century silk and cotton industries in the north-west led to the development of the canals and then the rail network, and this cottage sits atop a hill where the Macclesfield canal crosses above the road. Until 1905 the cottage was the Navigation Ale House, with stables beneath it for the horses that worked the canals. Taking part in Our World Tuesday.
