Description: | A narrowboat leaves a lock on the Ashton Canal (built 1792-1800). A lock keeper's cottage is to the left and a factory chimney to the right. When canals were major freight haulage routes, it was convenient for lock keepers to be housed adjacent to their lock to be available when needed. | Subjects: | Canal Lock Transport (Water) Transport Lock Keepers Cottage Canal | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Perry, T | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
