East Basin, Worsley
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.

Worsley junction
To the right is the branch up into the Delph for the mine workings which were the main reason for the building of the Bridgewater Canal. The line to Leigh continues to the left. The red colour of the water is due to the minerals leaching out of the old mine workings. Straight ahead is Worsley Packet House.
The helmsman of the narrowboat has to make a hard left turn and hope that there is nothing coming the other way through the bridge.
