Boat lift

The Anderton Boat Lift near the village ofAnderton, Cheshire in north-west England provides a 50 feet (15.2 m) vertical link between two navigable waterways: the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal.

Built in 1875, the boat lift was in use for over 100 years until it was closed due to corrosion in 1983. Restoration started in 2001 and the boat lift was re-opened in 2002. The lift and associated visitor centre and exhibition( info@andertonboatlift.co.uk /01606 786777) are operated by British Waterways. It is one of only two working boat lifts in the United Kingdom.
