Behind the boat is the new bridge over the cut from the lift up to "the Tip" You can also see the towpath bridge over the entrance to the lift arm. The second shot shows the road down from "The Tip" the old boaters name for The Stanley Arms up in the village above the lift, so called because of the tipping shoots which use to go down to the river from the canal at this point. Its the white fence which is the give away in this shot.
The B&W shot is going through Oil hole bridge where Gally kept the oil tank for the Anderton fleet, Bridge 199. The turn is just before bridge 198. We then see bridge 198 in the back ground, and the buildings of Anderton Marina. The wooded section at around 2 minutes is after bridge 196 before you enter the new length built to avoid the piece of cut which fell down a big hole in the late 50's This is where he's cracking on on the new length, which has a nice deep bit, before it shallows of causing the breaking wave. hoping this help -- cheers Ian Mac
