Mersey - South Docks Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Liverpool South Docks were drawn up by John Harding in 1835 but problems with Amberston Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for iron traffic to Blackpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In 2001 the canal became famous when Oliver Parker navigated Stockport Inclined plane in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.
Early plans for the River Mersey (Tidal Section) between Polstan and Newcastle-under-Lyme were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1816. In his autobiography Barry Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
