Latchford Locks and Viaduct, Manchester Ship Canal
In common with all the others on the canal, there are two lock chambers side by side at Latchford. The shorter one is for smaller vessels such as tugs and coasters, enabling them to pass through using less water that would be needed if they had to use the main lock.
The lift at Latchford is now 12 feet 6 inches, although it was originally sixteen feet six inches until 1909 when the canal was deepened to its present 28 foot clearance and the lift dropped to 14 foot 6. The lift was to be further reduced to its present level in 1956 when the water level was raised a further two feet between Eastham and Latchford.
The hydraulic machinery here also provides power for the swing bridges in the Warrington area.
