Lock Access to Fiddler's Ferry Yacht Haven
The lock between the River Mersey (behind the camera) and the St Helens (Sankey) Canal at Fiddler's Ferry. Between 1762 and 1833, this was the end of the Sankey Canal, where boats joined or left the tidal River Mersey. A second lock, now filled in, was built a short distance to the west, to enable more boats to lock through with each tide. The locks became disused after the canal was extended to Widnes in 1833. This lock was restored in the 1980s by Warrington Council and now gives access to the Fiddler's Ferry Yacht Haven.
