Barton Locks, Manchester Ship Canal Like all the other locks on the Manchester Ship Canal, Barton Locks are built on a foundation of solid sandstone rock with concrete on top. Below the water level the lock walls are built of concrete but are lined above water level with brick and a blue facing brick. There are two locks here, the largest on the north side of the canal measuring 600 x 65 feet to accommodate ocean-going ships, and the smaller one measuring 350 x 45 feet for vessels such as tugs and coasters.
