Friends and family of a man who 'vanished' after leaving a pub say they are becoming increasingly concerned for him.

Chris Barlow, 31, was last seen at 1.17am on Sunday 4 June, leaving the Royal Oak pub in Mellor.

He was seen turning left onto Brabyns Brow from Town Street, but there have been no further sightings of him since.

He is 5ft 9in, of medium build and was wearing a black t-shirt, beige shorts and dark trainers.

He is well known at Marple Cricket Club and Marple and Mellor FC and his family have reported him missing.

They say it is totally out of character for him to just 'vanish' and not be in contact.

His phone has been switched off and friends are concerned he could have taken a number of routes home by foot.

 
Police are continuing to search a canal in Marple for missing man Chris Barlow.

A number of police TAU vans and a specialist water search and marine unit vehicle were spotted at the scene along Brabyns Bow beside the Peak Forest Canal on Monday evening.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed that officers were searching the area for Mr Barlow, who remains a 'high-risk' missing person. The force had previously issued an appeal about Mr Barlow, who was last seen in the Marple area in the early hours of Sunday (June 4).
