Tib Lock No 89 is one of some locks on the Rochdale Canal and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway.
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.

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.

![Rochdale Canal, Manchester: entrance to the Bridgewater Hall arm. This recently reopened little arm of the Rochdale Canal, which runs to the Bridgewater Hall, actually comprises the first few yards of the former Manchester & Salford Junction canal, built to connect the Rochdale Canal with the River Irwell and the Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal. Much of the M&SJ is now lost under the former Central Station and Granada Studios, but the far end can be still seen entering the Irwell ([[4997560]]). by Christopher Hilton – 10 November 2017](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/63/12/5631207_31ef8fd2_120x120.jpg)
