Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in the state of Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.

I'd focussed my camera on this gull just to make sure it was a great-black backed - a species I don't see in landlocked Shropshire. As I did so, it launched itself upwards then plunged in & came up with a crab, which it proceeded to dismantle with brutal efficiency. Portland Bill.

Portland Basin, also known as New Wharf, is the terminus of the Ashton Canal where it meets the northern end of the Peak Forest Canal. There is also a short branch to Dukinfield.
The masonry arch bridge carrying the Ashton Canal towpath over the Peak Forest Canal was built in 1835. It has a single ring of voussoirs with a keystone, a deck of stone setts and stone flag parapets.
This elegant, stone-built footbridge became notorious for many attempted suicides during the Cotton Famine of the 1860's and hence the canal basin in the foreground gained the nickname
"The Weaver's Rest"
