Barnton Cut

Contrast this image with the one taken by another contributor to this square showing the original course of the River Weaver near Owley Wood, Weaverham. The present image taken from the edge of, and looking into, the square shows the canalised Barnton Cut built between 1832 and 1835 to improve navigation. The old river leaves the navigable line upstream at the weir near Wallerscote and rejoins it downstream at Saltersford locks. The photo also shows the riverside footpath that runs from Winnington Bridge to Acton Bridge.

Heaven and Hell? On the Barnton Cut

The Barnton Cut is the canalised portion of the River Weaver, built 1832-5 to improve navigation, between Saltersford Locks and Winnington. The photo shows some of the soda ash storage at Wallerscote soda ash works, Winnington - formerly ICI and now owned by Brunner Mond and seemingly partially derelict. This section of the river used to be busy with boats, including quite sizeable sea-going vessels carrying chemicals from the Wallerscote and Winnington works. These days it seems only the occasional maintenance craft or leisure boat would disturb the tranquility of the swan family. Taken from the riverside path.
