Description

The Bridgewater Canal was commissioned by Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, to transport coal from his mines in Worsley to Manchester. Castlefield was the Manchester basin, and it was watered by the River Medlock. In 1802 the Rochdale Canal joined here at Dukes Lock. In the 1830s, the railways arrived at Liverpool Road railway station, and then in 1848, 1877 and 1894 Castlefield was dissected by the great railway viaducts.

Loading dock south of the canal, seen under the Manchester South Junction & Altrincham 1814 viaduct. Leading to Potato Wharf.
