Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Barton swing aqueduct. Now fully open, we can look at where the swing aqueduct started swinging from. The Bridgewater Canal is behind this steel gate, the first gate that was swung. Yes, that's the yellow railing. The cabin where that happened can be seen at the top of the picture. The gate is held in place by the force of the water behind it; if it failed potentially the whole canal from Wigan to here (15 miles) would be drained. But it only has minimal leakage.
Because this point is normally inaccessible there was a good crop of blackberries to the right. We were here by permission and under the supervision of the bridgekeeper. Next picture 532775 |
