Worsley Delph.  The Bridgewater Canal was built because of the Duke of Bridgewater's coal mines here at Worsley Delph.
The coal seams ran under the higher ground to the north.  The Duke's land agent, John Gilbert, saw that it was possible to
connect the canal directly to the mines by way of an underground canal.  This in turn could be used to help with draining the
mines, providing a source of water for the canal.  It's hard to believe but there are around 47 miles of underground canals
in the hillside beyond these tunnel entrances, on four different levels, connected by a water powered inclined plane and lifts.

The Packet House.  At one time there were passenger boat services to
Manchester and Runcorn and the passengers would queue on the steps to the left.

The Bridgewater Canal.  The orange colour comes from iron oxide seeping from the mines.

The Barton Swing Aquaduct, which takes the Bridgewater Canal over the Manchester Ship Canal.

The Swing Aqueduct consists of a channel that can be sealed off at each end to form a 235 feet long
and 18 feet wide tank, holding 800 tons of water, that swings round on its pivot.  The aqueduct, which is
the first and only swing aqueduct in the world, is a Grade II* listed building and is considered a major feat
of Victorian civil engineering.  Designed by Sir Edward Leader Williams and built by Andrew Handyside
of Derby, the swing bridge opened in 1894 and remains in regular use.

Trafford Park, occupying an area of 4.7 square miles, was the first planned industrial estate in the world
and remains the largest in Europe.  It once had an extensive system of railway sidings servicing the factories
and, although there are still one or two sections in use, most of them have disappeared.  Occasionally
you can find the odd remnant that has somehow managed to avoid getting
removed or buried, and this is one of them.

Trafford Ecology Park.  A quiet oasis in the heart of the industrial estate.

There are some strange creatures in these woods...!
