The Trans Pennine Trail leaves the railway
With Latchford Viaduct out of action - the probable cause of the line's closure in 1985 along with the ideological stupidity of the government of the time, the path descends to the suburban road network of Warrington.

Bradshaw Lane
The railway from Altrincham crossed the road here on a high embankment and bridge. Height had to be gained to cross the Manchester Ship Canal at Latchford Viaduct. The railway closed in 1985, hastened by the cost of maintaining the viaduct.

Sluices, Latchford Locks
The top side of the sluices with spare gates and the gantry crane that would enable them to be manoeuvred into position. For each gate there is also a stop gate which will be lowered into the water channel to cut off the flow when the main gate needs to be maintained. These are underflow sluices which means that floating debris does not interfere with the gates and can be collected as and when necessary; this can be seen building up to the right. The large object is not in fact debris, but a spare lock gate. Keeping them afloat means that it is easy to tow them round to where they are needed, and the wooden meeting faces are also kept moist so that the timber does not split.

Latchford Locks, Manchester Ship Canal
The smaller lock is having a gate change with the aid of the steam powered "250 Ton crane". When the activities were over for the night we got invited on board with the plant ticking over nicely. The actual lifting is by big DC motor driven winch with Ward-Leonard control (no, I don't understand it either).

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.
