Ashton-under-Lyne, Donkey Stone Wharf













Entrance to Donkey Stone Wharf.

The Blue plaque tells us the there used to be a mill here called Eli Whalley. They made Donkey Stones (soap sized stones use for scrubbing up doorsteps on old terraced houses).

It's just off Lower Wharf Street, here.
