Manchester


"Duke's 92" Lock at Castlefield in Manchester - the final lock on the Rochdale Canal's journey from Yorkshire to the Bridgewater Canal (i.e. lock number 92).

It was called "Duke's Lock" as it was built for the Duke of Bridgewater, who owned the Bridgewater Canal and wanted to control access to it.
