Bridgewater Canal, St George's Island
A giant poster on the side of the nineteenth century railway viaduct advertises the twenty first century apartments which have replaced the decaying industrial buildings as the area has undergone regeneration.
The apartment block is on a small promontory of land known as “St George’s Island” close to the Mancunian Way. The water between the apartments and the viaduct was the Hulme Locks Junction Canal which once formed an important connection between the Bridgewater Canal and the River Irwell / Manchester Ship Canal. The Hulme Locks Junction Canal was only 200 metres in length. It opened in 1938 but has fallen into a state decline today having been replaced by a new lock which was built in 1995 near to Pomona Dock Number 3.

Hulme Locks, 1990
The entrance lock from the Bridgewater Canal to the short connection with the Manchester Ship Canal. This lock was not used as a lock, as the original three locks had been replaced by a single deep lock around the corner under the railway in the 1960s. In 1990 however, this route was open. It was closed in 1995, as replaced by a new lock connecting to Pomona Dock further downstream.
