Restored..too

The Anderton boat lift near Anderton, Cheshire, in North West England provides a 50ft vertical link between two navigable waterways: the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal.

Built in 1875 the boat lift was in service for over 100 years until it was closed due to corrosion in 1983. Restoration started in 2001 and the boat lift was re-opened in 2002.
