Oxford Road Lock No 88
Palace Theatre, 97 Oxford Street, Manchester M1 6FT, United Kingdom
Oxford Road Lock No 88 is one of a long flight of locks on the Rochdale Canal; it has a rise of only a few inches between Manbury and Castlepool.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.
