Irlam Locks
Cadishead Way, Salford M44 6RU, United Kingdom
Irlam Locks is one of some locks on the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway just past the junction with The River Roding.
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.
