Bowaters UK Paper Mills is on the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line).
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.

M53 Junction 8 TruckstopI used to hang on the back of Bowater's newsprint lorries at age
16 when cycling from Falconwood, Welling, Kent to my first job in
Fleet Street in 1947. The newsprint lorries came from Sittinbourne
along Rochester Way (A2) across Blackheath and Greenwich heading for
Fleet Street. If anyone can point me to a photo they can have a
CD/DVD of my memoirs when I've added some photos.
