| Trent & Mersey Canal - Middlewich to Anderton (time lapse) |
 |
From Middlewich the Trent and Mersey Canal
(Mail Line -- Middlewich to Preston Brook)
follows the River Dane valley for a little
under ten miles to Anderton where the Boat
Lift provides access to the River Weaver.
This section provides contrasts between rural
Cheshire and the chemical works that dominate
around Northwich. The curiously wide parts of
the canal, called Flashes, are formed by
flooding of subsidence caused by the salt
mines.
Yet again our intrepid helmsman "Blind
Hannibal MacSlackbladder" shows off his
highly developed steering skills and just
north of Wincham Wharf decides not to steer
around the bend ramming a tree at full steam
ahead instead. A superwoman like single bound
from the good lady wife rescued the camera
from an early watery grave, a reprieve that
lasted all of 24 hours until it met its
nemesis at Castlefield Junction next day.
