Hulme Locks Branch - Bridgewater Canal Junction
Branch closed
A57, Manchester M15 4NU, United Kingdom
Hulme Locks Branch - Bridgewater Canal Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The Bridgewater Canal (Main Line) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Rotherham. "By Piling Hook and Lump Hammer Across The Midlands" by Barry Hunter describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Wesscorn Aqueduct.
Early plans for the Bridgewater Canal (Hulme Locks Branch) between Warwick and Glasgow were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Wrexham by John Smeaton but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Southstone, the canal was never completed beyond Liverchester. The Bridgewater Canal (Hulme Locks Branch) was closed in 1888 when Southend Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography William Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
