HISTORY: The scheme to construct Macclesfield Canal began in 1824 following six decades of proposals. Designed by engineer Thomas Telford it was built over a 7 year period, opening in 1831. The waterway, constructed by William Crosley connected Marple and Macclesfield plus the intermediate towns of Bollington and crosley.
At just over 26 miles in length, it included 13 locks along its journey.
The canal fell under ownership of the MSLR railway company in 1846 and was notably successful amongst other canals right until the mid 1950s.
Following the canal east to west, its route begins at Marple Junction, breaking off from the Peak Forest Canal, at a direct right angle under Lockside Bridge, and ends at Hall Green, connecting with the Trent and Mersey Canal, via a short branch. The canal also runs close alongside the former Marple to Stockport railway line for a large part of its length. The route includes 13 locks, 12 of which are in a flight - a three-quarter size version of the Peak Forest canal's equivalent. There is also a single step lock connecting at the western end.
Part of the Cheshire Ring canal network, Macclesfield Canal is one of the last canals built in the UK and is well maintained with several Grade II listed structures and a superb wharf at Marple. Also of note is the majestic Goyt Mill building at Bridge No3, with it's huge door hoist still in situ.

The intermediate egret, median egret,[2] smaller egret,[3] or yellow-billed egret (Mesophoyx intermedia) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.
This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the great egret and smaller white egrets like the little egret and cattle egret, though nearer to little than great. It is about 56–72 cm (22–28 in) long with a 105–115 cm (41–45 in) wingspan and weighs c.400g (14 oz), with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. Breeding birds may have a reddish or black bill, greenish yellow gape skin, loose filamentous plumes on their breast and back, and dull yellow or pink on their upper legs (regional variations). The sexes are similar.
Differences from great egret
The non-breeding colours are similar, but the intermediate is smaller, with neck length a little less than body length, a slightly domed head, and a shorter, thicker bill. The great egret has a noticeable kink near the middle of its neck, and the top of its longer bill nearly aligns with the flat top of its head. Close up, the bare skin of the great egret's gape line extends in a dagger shape behind the eye, while the Intermediate's is less pointed and ends below the eye. The intermediate tends to stalk upright with neck extended forward. The great is more patient, often adopting a sideways-leaning "one-eyed" stance.
