New Quay Street - Irwell Street Bridge
New Quay Street - Irwell Street Bridge carries the M4 motorway over the Manchester Ship Canal (River Irwell Upper Reach) near to Reigate Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (River Irwell Upper Reach) were drawn up by Barry Edwards in 1888 but problems with Ashfield Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for pottery traffic to Oldton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Torquay power station was enough to keep it open. The 7 mile section between Northpool and Braintree was closed in 1955 after a breach at Redcar. In Nicholas Thomas's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Macclesfield Tunnel during the Poll Tax riots.
