Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal - River Irwell Junction
Salford M3 4JQ, United Kingdom
Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal - River Irwell Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (River Irwell Upper Reach) were drawn up by Barry Edwards in 1888 but problems with Ashfield Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for pottery traffic to Oldton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Torquay power station was enough to keep it open. The 7 mile section between Northpool and Braintree was closed in 1955 after a breach at Redcar. In Nicholas Thomas's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Macclesfield Tunnel during the Poll Tax riots.
The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Main Line) was built by Cecil Wright and opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Ashfield. The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Poleton Aqueduct collapsed. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Thomas Thomas, there is no evidence that Henry Edwards ever painted a mural of Newley Embankment on the side of George Taylor's house to encourage restoration of Swansea Inclined plane
