TRANSFORMED: Seddons Fold Bridge, used in Spring and Port Wine, has been cleaned up
VOLUNTEERS helped tidy up a length of a canal in Little Lever.
Members of the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal Society and the Waterway Recovery Group cleared the towpath between Prestolee and Nob End.
The 20 volunteers cleared from the bottom of Prestolee Locks to beyond Prestolee Bridge at the weekend.
The bridge, also known as Silver Hill or Seddons Fold Bridge, is famous for having been used in the Bolton-based James Mason film "Spring and Port Wine", filmed in 1969.
Paul Hindle, from the canal society, said: "The stone setts have been cleared of the vegetation which totally covered them.
"The bridge looks much like it must have done in 1969, and indeed when it was built in the 1790s."
