Title: Macclesfield canal, Buxton Road Bridge
Post by: Chandratal on Mar 17, 2025, 05:10 PM
There is no indication of the water point at Bridge 68 on Canalplan. This is a useful water point in the old coal wharf. Pressure is excellent, although a CRT workboat often moored at the wharf makes getting in slightly fiddly.

A water point is shown at Bridge 68. This doesn't appear to have been a recent edit. I don't see any problem with the existing data.

While the entry lists a water point in the bridge description, a tap symbol needs appending to the spot. A boater scanning the map quickly would miss such information.
Why does Hall Green's water point merit a symbol on the map while Buxton Road doesn't?

Incidentally, the Nicholson guide also omits any mention of a water point at Buxton Road bridge.

Quote from: StephenAttySo feel free to add it  - just edit the place and add it as a facility that is available there

I'd love to help, Stephen, but I see only the facility to add textual information. A graphical tap icon seems beyond the editing function, unless I'm missing something?

Magic, I like the linear maps, but it would be nice if it were on the general map, too.

I've put a tap on the map.
