Approaching Weston Lock, Trent and Mersey Canal
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Approaching Weston Lock, Trent and Mersey Canal. Weston Lock is wide enough for two narrowboats to use together. The change of water level in this lock is almost eleven feet (3.3 metres) so it can be a daunting experience, especially if only one boat is coming up and lock paddles are not operated carefully.
The ninety-three mile canal was begun in 1766, initially engineered by James Brindley, and eventually opened fully in 1777 five years after his death. It stretches from Preston Brook, near Runcorn to Derwent Mouth near Shardlow. |
