The Mersey and Irwell Navigation was a river navigation in North West England, which provided a navigable route from the Mersey estuary to Salford and Manchester, by improving the course of the River Irwell and the River Mersey. Eight locks were constructed between 1724 and 1734, and the rivers were improved by the construction of new cuts several times subsequently. Use of the navigation declined from the 1870s, and it was ultimately superseded by the Manchester Ship Canal, the construction of which destroyed most of the Irwell section of the navigation and the long cut between Latchford and Runcorn.

  • Die Mersey and Irwell Navigation war eine Kanal- und Flussverbindung im Nordwesten Englands. Sie stellte eine schiffbare Verbindung von der Mündung des Mersey nach Salford und Manchester her, indem sie die Flüsse Irwell und Mersey verband. Zwischen 1724 und 1743 wurden acht Schleusen gebaut und der Lauf der Flüsse durch verschiedene Durchbrüche verändert. Der Schiffsverkehr auf der Strecke nahm ab den 1870er Jahren ab und wurde schließlich durch den Bau des Manchester Ship Canal überflüssig. Der Kanal zerstörte große Teile der Navigation im Bereich des Irwell und die Strecke zwischen und Runcorn. (de)
