 |
| Grocer's warehouse is one of the largest warehouse within the Bridgewater Canal basin and the first warehouse in Britain where barges can be unloaded within the building itself. The 2 structure behind are the shafts where cargoes are lifted via a water powered hoist from the barges in the canal, all the way up to the road. |
 |
| The shafts and the canal. At its peak, Manchester Grocers' Company vessels ply daily between Castle Quay, Manchester and Grocers' Company Wharf in Liverpool |
