30 minutes walk apparently, but there are plenty of pubs for a rest on the way

As you reach Melbourne Street, with the Halifax on your right, and an off-licence on the left, turn right onto Melbourne Street, and cross the bridge into the town centre.
Go right to the end of Melbourne Street, marveling at the new canal as you cross over it.
Turn left at the top by the Society Rooms (a Weatherspoons) onto Grosvner Street.
By the Stop and Rest, turn right, and cross Acres Lane at the Pelican Crossing to the Pineapple.
Turn left and stroll along Acres Lane to the traffic lights at the end.
At the traffic lights, turn right onto Mottram Road.
