Why Lock 92?
At the heart
of Manchester lies Castlefield, once the site of a Roman fort. Here the Bridgewater
Canal
- Britain's first true industrial canal - meets the Rochdale. Where they meet
is Rochdale's former Lock 92 - a symbolic spot lending its name to this site
and your starting point to discovering northern England's rich canal heritage.
Focusing initially
on the Ashton, Rochdale and Huddersfield
canals, Lock92 will eventually embrace others in the region.
