Entering Mode Wheel Locks ? 1978
Taken during one of the Mersey Ferries regular cruises along the Manchester Ship Canal. The locks effectively marked the change from canal to docks. No sign yet of the redevelopment of the area as Salford Quays!

Mode Wheel Lock, Manchester Ship Canal
The gates at the western end of the lock. The Mode Wheel Locks are the first locks on the Manchester Ship Canal after leaving the Salford/Manchester Docks (now Salford Quays). The locks drop ships thirteen feet from the level of the Salford basin.
It is believed that the name “Mode Wheel” derives from a corn mill which stood on the River Irwell at this spot before the Ship Canal was built. The mill was water powered and the wheel was called "Maud's Wheel" which over the years has been corrupted into Mode Wheel and used to name the area.
