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.

Woden Street, Salford
Woden (not Wooden) Street, is a street off Ordsall Lane, in an area of Salford which has been heavily redeveloped. On the right of the street is Lamba Court, a modern complex of multi-storey apartment blocks. The left side of the street is overgrown with vegetation, following the demolition of the buildings which were once there. No doubt it will not be long before new buildings go up here. In the distance is a viaduct which used to carry railway lines, but now takes Manchester Metrolink's trams through the centre of Manchester. The Eccles branch runs through the Salford Quays district.

Structure by the Irwell
This hexagonal structure, by the north side of Wooden Street footbridge across the River Irwell, looks rather like a bandstand. Behind is Steele House.

Riverside Path at Ordsall
The footpath follows the Salford bank of the Irwell (and then the Manchester Ship Canal) allowing one to walk between (close to) the city centre and Salford Quays. The nineteenth century Woden Street footbridge can be seen ahead.

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").
