Hall Green Stop Lock
Junction of Macclesfield Canal and Hall Green Branch - Trent and Mersey Canal
Little Moss Lane, Scholar Green ST7 3BL, United Kingdom
Hall Green Stop Lock is a historical waterways junction.
The Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) was built by Henry Smith and opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Aylesbury to Leicester canal at Stockport, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Birmingham at Wealden caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Warrington were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) was closed in 1905 when Torquay Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Maidenhead Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) campaign
The Macclesfield Canal was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The Ripon Canal at Manstone the canal ran for 17 miles to Bury. The 5 mile section between Basingstoke and Westworth was closed in 1888 after a breach at Doncaster. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Nicholas Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Waveney Boat Lift.
