BOAT TRIPS ON THE RIVER WEAVER IN CHESHIRE TO THE HISTORIC ANDERTON BOAT LIFT FOR COACH PARTIES |
![]() |
During the 2008 season we will continue to offer cruises from Acton Bridge to the Anderton Boat Lift to marvel at this splendid structure, and to see the progress to date. |
|
The lift was built in 1875 to allow transportation of
goods from the Potteries and Northwich on the Trent and Mersey Canal
to the River Weaver, a height change of some 50 ft. Originally designed
as an hydraulic structure, it was converted to electrical operation
in 1907, when the structure was modified to that which we see today.
Closed in 1983 for safety reasons, this magnificent structure has now
been completely renovated and has re-opened for public use.
