Bridgewater Canal, Hulme Locks
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 4 Sep 2017
The top lock of the disused Hulme Locks at Hulme Junction, where the disused Hulme Locks Arm branches off the Bridgewater Canal. It descends three locks and turns sharply under the viaduct to link with the River Irwell. The locks are in poor condition now and the arm is no longer navigable. A new access to the River Irwell and Salford Quays has been made a little further west via Pomona Dock.
