The Manchester Ship Canal was a huge engineering achievement. It included seven swing bridges & the aqueduct at Barton, & helped turn the cotton-producing capital of Great Britain into an inland seaport. This was a feat many at the time believed could not be achieved. One of the wonders of the modern industrial world, the Manchester Ship Canal, with its huge locks & ocean-going vessels, was a magnetic draw for enthusiastic Victorians who marvelled at its construction.
This book looks at the changes & development of the Manchester Ship Canal through time, from its origins as a thriving economic hub in the late nineteenth century, to an important retail, leisure & media centre in the early twenty-first century & beyond. Join Steven Dickens as he explores the history of this 36-mile-long inland waterway in the north-west of Engl&, which links Manchester to the Mersey Estuary & the Irish Sea.
