Hulmes Bridge Ferry
Irlam Road, Trafford M41 6WU, United Kingdom
Hulmes Bridge Ferry carries a farm track over the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) half a mile from Barcorn.
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Smith in 1782 but problems with Southend Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Embankment during a thunderstorm.

It would need an act of Parliament to close it
as the ferry replaced the sort of bridge that was there, and an
agreement was made to supply the ferry when the bridge became
obsolete.
