River Irwell at St George's
Looking upstream (towards the city centre) from Woden Street Footbridge. The Irwell is the traditional boundary between the cities of Salford (on the left) and Manchester (on the right). Behind the railway viaduct on the right-hand side is the Bridgewater Canal and the area known as "St George's Island" (or just "St George's").

Hulme Lock, Bridgewater Canal, Manchester
This lock dropped boats from the Bridgewater Canal to the River Irwell (and to the Manchester Ship Canal). The River Medlock enters the Irwell next to the bottom gates. The railway viaducts above carry the line from Liverpool to Manchester Oxford Road, and the Metrolink trams. This lock is now disused, a new lock at Pomona connecting the Bridgewater with Salford Quays.

Confluence
Looking across the River Irwell from the Salford side of the Salford/Manchester boundary. The water of the River Medlock joins the Irwell here after meandering across and under parts of Manchester City centre. Also visible (under the railway arch) are Hulme locks which connected the nearby Bridgewater Canal with the River Irwell.
