The best I can come up with from my archive is - http://www.geocities.com/thecanalshop/Rochdale1027.jpg which seems to show the exit hole at the bottom of Tib. There is also Martin's one of the top of Deansgate - http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/manchester/man091.jpg I am pretty sure that the one in between, at Albion Mills was still fuctioning as was the one at Dukes.
