Manchester’s Shortest Canal and the Medlock-Irwell Junction

Welcome to the Hulme Branch Canal, not only Manchester's shortest canal still connected at both ends, but also the city's first watery connection between the canal system and the rivers. The triangular-shaped St George's island holds much history, including a mysterious (for me at least) semi-circular cut-out in the floor. But its the lock at the end of the canal that holds all of the story - 150 years of barges and navvies, coal and cotton and corn. Finally, I trace the final stages of the River Medlock as it appears at the Giant's Basin in Castlefield and then trickles into the River Irwell. A mighty junction of Manchester's waterways indeed.
