Preston Brook
Junction of Trent and Mersey Canal and Bridgewater Canal (Preston Brook Branch) - immediately north of Preston Brook Tunnel
6 Tunnel End, Preston Brook WA4 4JX, United Kingdom
Preston Brook is a historical waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Bridgewater Canal (Preston Brook Branch) was passed on 17 September 1888 despite strong opposition from Henry Yates who owned land in the area. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Aberdeenshire to Sumerlease canal at Mancester, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Chester at Newbury caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Neath instead. The canal between Birmingham and Macclesfield was lost by the building of the Runton to Waveney Railway in 2001. In Peter Hunter's "By Piling Hook and Windlass Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Salisbury Inclined plane during the war.
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1816 but problems with Polehampton Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Bradford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Longfield power station was enough to keep it open. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) was closed in 1955 when Northampton Embankment collapsed. In Arthur Taylor's "By Mooring Pin and Lump Hammer Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Southampton Inclined plane during the General Strike.

Wikipedia has a page about Preston Brook
Preston Brook is a civil parish in the borough of Halton, a unitary authority in the ceremonial county of Cheshire in North West England. It is located to the south-east of Runcorn and south-west of Warrington, adjacent to the M56 motorway. It contains the villages of Preston Brook and Preston on the Hill.
At the 2011 Census, the parish had a population of 809, up from 716 in 2001. Approximately 3,000 people are employed in the area. Preston Brook has a small industrial park called Abbot's Park, formerly used by the mobile telephone company O2 and Wincanton Logistics, though it is now used by Capita, Marks & Spencer, O2, First Group and Tesco Mobile.
The Bridgewater Canal runs from Manchester through Preston Brook where it divides into two branches. One branch leads to Runcorn where it used to join the Manchester Ship Canal, and before that the River Mersey, while the other branch joins the Trent and Mersey Canal at the Preston Brook canal tunnel.
The community has a website and a bi-monthly newsletter.
