This and the subsequent series of photos are intended to show the pattern of operation of Barton swing aqueduct and the adjacent Barton road bridge for the passage of a boat along the Manchester Ship Canal. Here, we are crossing the ship canal on the aqueduct carrying the Bridgewater Canal. Looking east (towards Salford). This is the halfway point, showing the island in the middle of the ship canal. Note the heron on the roof. Next photo Image]
