On to the Bridgewater Canal

Looking down on the Manchester Ship Canal

 Well we finally got through on to the Bridgewater on Monday.  Then Tuesday found us moored by the Trafford Centre. A huge shopping mall on the outskirts of Manchester. It's built in a Greek style with columns and statues

Just come over the swinging aqueduct over the Manchester Ship Canal

and pictures on the ceiling. Definitely worth a visit, although it would seem that it has killed shopping in nearby towns. We left there yesterday and shortly arrived at the Barton Swing Aqueduct. Amazing looking down on to the ship canal. Apparently the aqueduct can still swing but it doesn't happen often. Today we arrived in Wigan. Less than a week now before we enter Liverpool Docks.
