Hulme Locks, 1990
Image: © Robin Webster Taken: 18 Sep 1990
The entrance lock from the Bridgewater Canal to the short connection with the Manchester Ship Canal. This lock was not used as a lock, as the original three locks had been replaced by a single deep lock around the corner under the railway in the 1960s. In 1990 however, this route was open. It was closed in 1995, as replaced by a new lock connecting to Pomona Dock further downstream.
