End of Liverpool Link. Moorings for visiting Liverpool

Wapping, Liverpool L1, United Kingdom
Salthouse Dock is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Liverpool Link) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1835 but problems with Bristol Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Taunley. The two mile section between Bassetlaw and Brench was closed in 1888 after a breach at Caerphilly. "Travels of The Implacable" by Barry Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Newcester Cutting.
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.
