Barton Swing Aqueduct Overhead
Barton Swing Aqueduct, Havenscroft Avenue, Salford M30 0TD, United Kingdom
Barton Swing Aqueduct Overhead carries a footpath over the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) near to Livercester Locks.
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.
