Bridgewater Canal Basin
Grid reference: SJ 834 974
Built next to the original line of Deansgate (reputed to be on site of Roman ford). This self acting sluice diverts surplus water from the River Medlock away from the basin. It eventually discharges into the River Medlock down stream of the weir in the Giant’s Basin. Present structure under control of the Manchester Ship Canal Co.
