The secluded beauty spot was the perfect place for kids to find on their bikes and make memories
An off-the-beaten-track beauty spot provided "wonderful" memories for generations of Manchester kids.
The charming summer scene took place at an idyllic section of the River Bollin in Castle Mill, part of the Cotteril Clough Nature Reserve by Manchester Airport. Up until the early 1970s, not far from this location, there was also the popular Castle Mill open air swimming pool which sadly no longer exists.
"We would spend all day there and just have a great day out. Had forgot all about this place till I seen the pics of the bridge and the beach." Yvonne Coop, said: "I lived in Hale barns and, in the school holidays, my mum used to send me with my young brother [with] a bottle of water and a jam butty to Piggley Stairs at Castle Mill.

No trouble - innocent days."While Sara Bray, commented: "Love it.
