New Islington Marina Entrance

 
New Islington Free School, 10 Redhill Street, Manchester M4 6EY, United Kingdom
 

New Islington Marina Entrance is an notable flight of locks on the Rochdale Canal near to Cheltenham Inclined plane.

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 Rochdale Canal (Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1876. In Cecil Wood's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Presbury Aqueduct during a thunderstorm.

Navigational Notes

Canal & River Trust has a number of volunteer lock keepers working on the Rochdale Canal flight of 17, between Lock 65 at Failsworth and Lock 81 at Miles Platting. Although booking is no longer required on the flight, it can be hard work and a number of boaters have requested assistance.

The volunteers are happy to help when they can. Their help is given voluntarily so assistance is not guaranteed, but if you would like help call 0303 040 4040 at least 24 hours before your planned passage (longer if possible) and we will try to arrange this with the volunteers.

The lock keepers have all trained with the Trust and have excellent local knowledge which can really add to your experience of the flight.

Please call us if you want to look into this, the more notice the better.

While assistance cannot be guaranteed the volunteers are committed to helping where they can.
