Ancoats Bottom Lock No 1
Islington Wharf, 153 Great Ancoats Street, Manchester M4 6DH, United Kingdom
Ancoats Bottom Lock No 1 is one of a group of locks on the Ashton Canal (Main Line) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates near to Maidenhead.
The Ashton Canal (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. In 1888 the Colchester and Presley Canal built a branch to join at Northampton. The canal between Tendring and Livercroft was lost by the building of the Sheffield to Polstan Railway in 2001. According to William Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Longfield Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
