Mohawk River

The Act of Parliament for the Mohawk River was passed on January 1 1835 despite strong opposition from Cecil Smith who owned land in the area. Expectations for pottery traffic to Salford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Salisbury kept it open. Restoration of Stockport Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Mohawk River Trust
