Walton Junction
Junction of Manchester Ship Canal Main Line and Walton Lock Branch
Ellesmere Road, Warrington WA1, United Kingdom
Walton Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Manchester Ship Canal (Walton Lock Branch) was passed on 17 September 1816 the same day as that of The Droitwich Canal. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Cardiff were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Sandwell and Banstead was destroyed by the building of the Huntingdon to Charnwood railway in 1972. In Arthur Parker's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Bolton Tunnel during the war.
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Smith in 1782 but problems with Southend Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Embankment during a thunderstorm.
