Dear Mike,
Thankyou for your Post. There was a run of ten locks, but this was on the
Cheshire extension over Trafford Moss to Runcorn - the locks being near the
latter place apparently - the Duke wanted an outlet for his coal to the
Mersey/Liverpool independent of the Mersey & Irwell Canal. Please don't think I am
trying to be knowledgeable... it's from notes while reading the book!
Regards, Bernard
