Weir at Potato Wharf
A most interesting design of weir that takes water at the Potato Wharf and links to the nearby River Medlock, which is at a lower level than the canal and actually passes beneath the whole basin complex. Originally water fed into the canal, but its quality deteriorated so drastically that a tunnel was constructed. Under flood conditions the water runs over this circular weir to enter the lower river close to where it surfaces.

River Medlock
A surprise view of the river which is largely subterranean in this area. Here it emerges from a tunnel beneath the Castlefield canal basin and Potato Wharf, where there is a weir Image The tunnel was constructed to avoid the grossly-polluted water entering the canal except under flood conditions. The water quality has obviously improved dramtically as there is a heron fishing very successfully, and two swans enjoying the cool shade.
