On Thursday (27th August) I went on a cruise on the Manchester Ship Canal from Salford Quays to Liverpool Pier Head. Setting of from outside the Lowry Centre at 10am on the Mersey ferry Snowdrop. The cruise took 6 hours, passing throught 5 sets of locks, under 2 motorways and having 6 swing bridges and 1 swing aquaduct opened to allow us to pass. Throughout the cruise there was a guide telling you the history of the canal and also the future plans for it. You can view all my photos from the day here.
