Irwell Navigation Junction
Junction of the River Irwell and the Walton Lock Branch Canal
Walton Old Junction, Eastford Road, Warrington WA1, United Kingdom
Irwell Navigation Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Manchester Ship Canal (Walton Lock Branch) was passed on 17 September 1816 the same day as that of The Droitwich Canal. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Cardiff were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Sandwell and Banstead was destroyed by the building of the Huntingdon to Charnwood railway in 1972. In Arthur Parker's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Bolton Tunnel during the war.
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
