Footpath Sign by Peak Forest Canal


Walking down the towpath of the Peak Forest Canal from Captain Clarke's Bridge you soon come to this signpost directing walkers to Alexandra Street.

You are not expected to do a Harry-Potter-esque through the brick wall, but climb a set of steps behind the wall to a footpath leading down the side of Providence Mill.

See the footpath itself on Hyde DP Xtra.

See more signs at signs, signs.

Advance notice: With the CDPB portal currently out of action, Julie of Sydney Eye has created a page where participents in the April 1st theme (Cobblestones) can register their posts on a linky. See CDPB Theme Day

  3. I like the footprint, but it does look as if one should scale the wall!
