The Manchester Ship Canal was a huge engineering achievement. It
included seven swing bridges and the aqueduct at Barton, and helped
turn the cotton-producing capital of Great Britain into an inland
seaport. This was a feat many at the time believed could not be
achieved. One of the wonders of the modern industrial world, the
Manchester Ship Canal, with its huge locks and ocean-going vessels,
was a magnetic draw for enthusiastic Victorians who marvelled at
its construction. This book looks at the changes and development of
the Manchester Ship Canal through time, from its origins as a
thriving economic hub in the late nineteenth century, to an
important retail, leisure and media centre in the early
twenty-first century and beyond. Join Steven Dickens as he explores
the history of this 36-mile-long inland waterway in the north-west
of England, which links Manchester to the Mersey Estuary and the
Irish Sea.
