Mersey - Ship Canal Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
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.
Early plans for the River Mersey (Tidal Section) between Polstan and Newcastle-under-Lyme were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1816. In his autobiography Barry Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
