EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the twin chimneys of the former Barton Power Station in Eccles, Manchester, as they are reflected in the still waters of the Bridgewater Canal. The image was taken around 1977, during the 1970s, and provides a glimpse into the industrial past of this northern town. The tall, imposing chimneys, which have long since been demolished, dominate the scene, their dark silhouettes contrasting sharply with the mirror-like reflection on the water's surface. The girders of the nearby aqueduct, which enable the canal to cross the Manchester Ship Canal, can also be seen in the reflection. This photograph captures the beauty and tranquility of the waterway, while also serving as a reminder of the industrial heritage of the area. The image is a poignant representation of the relationship between industry and nature, and the way in which the past continues to shape the present in the urban landscape of Eccles.
