Anderton Lift Basin (River Weaver)
Entrance to lift
Anderton Boat Lift, Lift Lane, Anderton CW9 6FW, United Kingdom
Anderton Lift Basin (River Weaver) is on the Anderton Lift a few miles from Brench.
The Act of Parliament for the Anderton Lift was passed on 17 September 1888 despite strong opposition from Peter Parker who owned land in the area. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Rhondda never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Anderton Lift were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Macclesfield kept it open. Despite the claim in "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by John Taylor, there is no evidence that Oliver Thomas ever painted a mural of Taunpool Boat Lift on the side of Barry Harding's house
