Latchford Locks, Manchester Ship Canal
Taken from the footway across the sluice weir. There is a significant flow of water in the canal which is fed from the rivers Mersey and Irwell, and the sluices are automatically adjusted to suit the current volume of water. When the Canal was still busy, the operation of the locks would probably have been sufficient to provide most of the passage of water.
