The Bridgewater canal is by the half-timbered building, Worsley Delph is behind the photographer. This is where coal was brought out of the mines from 1761 onwards and sent off to Salford and Manchester. The site now has excellent interpretation, installed by Salford City Council in 2019 with National Lottery money.
