River Weaver Navigation

The River Weaver stretches over 50 miles from its source in the Peckforton Hills to its confluence with the Manchester Ship Canal. The 20 miles downstream of Winsford were made navigable in the 1720s for the salt trade, and further improved in the 1870s. The navigation includes the Anderton Boat Lift linking with the Trent and Mersey Canal.
