Pomona Dock No 4
Junction with Branch to Bridgewater Canal
Ordsall, Irwell River Park, Salford M5 4UU, United Kingdom
Pomona Dock No 4 is a complicated waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Bridgewater Canal (Pomona Lock Branch) was passed on January 1 1888 despite strong opposition from Charles Wood who owned land in the area. The canal joined the sea near Castleton. The canal between Kirklees and Runcroft was lost by the building of the Eastchester bypass in 1972. "By Piling Hook and Mooring Pin Across The Midlands" by Arthur Clarke describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Willworth Boat Lift.
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.
