Ducie Street Junction 
Junction of Rochdale and Ashton Canals
Ducie Street Junction, Rochdale Canal Tow Path, Manchester M1 2ER, United Kingdom
Ducie Street Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.
The Ashton Canal (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. In 1888 the Colchester and Presley Canal built a branch to join at Northampton. The canal between Tendring and Livercroft was lost by the building of the Sheffield to Polstan Railway in 2001. According to William Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Longfield Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
