Swing Bridges over the Manchester Ship Canal
The Aqueduct for the BridgeWater Canal. Slides are put in to stop the water going in to the Ship Canal. The original Aqueduct was built of brick and across the River Irwell in the eighteen century. By James Brindley to bring coal from Worsley, so had to be replaced a swing bridge.
This is the Old Road Traffic Bridge. Still in use today. As you can see the Bridge Swings to let the Ships come up the Ship Canal. The tower in the picture is the controller for both road bridge and aqueduct bridge.
