Description

The Bridgewater Canal was commissioned by Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, to transport coal from his mines in Worsley to Manchester. Castlefield was the Manchester basin, and it was watered by the River Medlock. In 1802 the Rochdale Canal joined here at Dukes Lock. In the 1830s, the railways arrived at Liverpool Road railway station, and then in 1848, 1877 and 1894 Castlefield was dissected by the great railway viaducts. Detail of the columns. To the front top right a brick vault of the Manchester South Junction & Altrincham 1848 viaduct. Then a pier of the 1877 wrought iron Cheshire Lines Cornbrook viaduct , and the massive piers of the 1894 disused Great Northern Viaduct behind. In the background the brick arches of the Salford branch 1848 viaduct of the Manchester South Junction & Altrincham railway behind that. Behind the columns was the now demolished Kenworthy Warehouse.
