Walton Lock No 1
Cranborne Road, Warrington WA1, United Kingdom
Walton Lock No 1 is one of many locks on the Manchester Ship Canal (Walton Lock Branch) and unusually is opened with a crank handle.
The Act of Parliament for the Manchester Ship Canal (Walton Lock Branch) was passed on 17 September 1816 the same day as that of The Droitwich Canal. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Cardiff were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Sandwell and Banstead was destroyed by the building of the Huntingdon to Charnwood railway in 1972. In Arthur Parker's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Bolton Tunnel during the war.
