  • Anderton Boat Lift to National Waterways Museum,Ellesmere Port - Cruise Duration Approx 6 Hours
    ANDERTON BOAT LIFT TO NATIONAL WATERWAYS MUSEUM,ELLESMERE PORT - CRUISE DURATION APPROX 6 HOURS Our cruise departs from our berth below the Anderton Boat Lift, also known as ‘The Cathedral of the Canals’. This magnificent structure was built in 1875 to elevate narrow boats, laden with cargo, 50ft between the River Weaver and The Trent & Mersey Canal. The lift was designed by the River Weaver trustees chief engineer Edward Leader Williams with Edwin Clark as the principal designer. The structure is designated as a scheduled monument and is included in the National Heritage list for England. Today it is an award-winning visitor destination offering leisure boaters a link between the two waterways and an informative visitor centre, café and children’s play area. Anderton Basin is a reminder of the Weaver’s industrial past when barges and ocean-going ships lined the berths loading and unloading cargo, predominantly for the chemical industry. Although the Tatter Chemical Plant is still operational, the last commercial cargo ship to use the river was The Saint Keiran back in 1998. Within 10 minutes of starting the journey from the lift we will pass through Winnington Swing Bridge which is the smallest of the river’s five swing bridges, and as soon as you pass through the bridge look out in the undergrowth for what looks like an old dry dock, but is actually an ice weir built to remove large floating chunks of ice from the river to keep it clear for traffic in the days when the river used to regularly freeze over.

In the history of Manchester, and indeed of South Lancashire as a whole, no other event or enterprise can compare with it in its far-reaching effects. The story, too, in many respects contains all the elements of a romance. It is the relation of a desperate and almost hopeless fight against opposi- tion of the most powerful and uncompromising character, and it is meet that the names and qualities of the men engaged in the strife, and the nature of the difficulties which they encountered and overcame, should find a permanent record. To rescue both individuals and incidents from oblivion, and to give a connected narrative of the course of events from the conception to the completion of the canal, is the object of the present work.

  • Diglis House and Benjamin Williams Leader (1831 – 1923) Exhibition on 27-04-18
    Diglis House and Benjamin Williams Leader (1831 – 1923) Exhibition on 27-04-18. The Art Appreciation Group met at the Diglis House Hotel, Worcester, for morning coffee. Diglis House was the childhood home of the renowned Victorian landscape painter, Benjamin Williams Leader. This elegant house, a Listed Grade II building, has excellent views over the River Severn, and these feature in many of Leader’s works. As a child, Leader met John Constable at this house, as Constable was a friend of his father, Edward Leader Williams, the Chief Engineer of the Severn Navigation Commission. Williams designed the Diglis Basin, nearby. Leader’s brother, also Edward Leader Williams, was a notable civil engineer who designed the Anderton Boat Lift, Cheshire and the Manchester Ship Canal. Self-portrait of Benjamin Williams Leader (1831 – 1923). From Diglis House we then moved on to the Worcester Art Gallery and Museum for an introductory talk, with refreshments. The subject was Benjamin Williams Leader and the talk was given by the Curator of the Leader Exhibition, who spoke with enthusiasm and a real depth of knowledge. A view of the exhibition, which runs until 2nd June. Leader was an eminent and very popular painter of landscapes and two of his paintings were purchased, one by the Prime Minister William Gladstone and one by HM King George V. This painting, in the Royal Collection, was graciously lent to the Exhibition by HM the Queen. Leader was Worcestershire’s pre-eminent artist and many of his paintings were of Worcestershire, even when he moved away. He was especially noted for the intricate, almost photographic, detail of his paintings, especially his trees, leaves and water.
