Modern apartment blocks line both sides of the Bridgewater Canal here. To the left is the Urban Splash Timber Wharf development whilst the apartment blocks to the right are part of the Dandara's St George’s Island development. "St George's Island" is a small promontory of land close to the Hulme Locks Junction Canal which once formed an important connection between the Bridgewater Canal and the River Irwell/Manchester Ship Canal.
