On the 1890 map this cobbled road in Smedley Vale in the Irk Valley leads to a bridge over the Irk. Will look for remains of it next time, but not carry on this way as to get back on the path behind the view here I had to climb a very steep bank strewn with fly-tipped rubbish . #FootpathFriday #RiverIrk #SmedleyVale #Manchester

The former Hellfire Club and before that Junction Inn or Hotel on the corner of Queen's Road at the entrance to Queen's Park, just before it travels over the River Irk in Collyhurst, North East Manchester. #FensterFreitag #HellfireClub #Collyhurst #Manchester #QueensPark #RiverIrk #IrkValley

The Irk goes under train and tram lines near Scotland in central Manchester, where a Jacobite army is thought to have massed, thus the name. I have seen kingfishers very near here! #riverirk #manchester

Looking into Manchester city centre from the bridge, which takes Collyhurst Road over the tram, formerly train lines. The tram is passing over the River Irk in the foreground. I have seen dippers in the Irk at Smedley Dip below. #Manchester #RiverIrk #Collyhurst #Wintersky
