The Blackbrook Basin Terminus of the Sankey Canal
The Sankey Brook Navigation, commonly known as the Sankey Canal, was built between 1755 and 1757, making this the 250th Anniversary year of its opening.
The northern reaches of the canal were formally abandoned in 1931. This site, now the start of the Sankey Valley Linear Park, following the line of the canal to Widnes, would have been a hive of activity in the 18th & 19th Centuries. Coal was loaded here into Mersey flats to go to Liverpool, North Wales, Ireland, and the Lancashire coast, while copper ore was imported from Parys Mountain on Anglesey to a copper works nearby.
