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 Use of the navigation declined from the 1870s, and it was ultimately superseded by the Manchester Ship Canal, the construction of which destroyed most of the Irwell section of the navigation and the long cut between Latchford and Runcorn.
The product is an original oil painting on board titled "Calamanco Lock" by artist John Corbridge. Signed by the artist, it features the River Irwell, Calamanco Lock, and surroundings in Flixton, Lancashire. Measuring 30 cm in height and 39 cm in width, this framed painting from 1986 depicts the Mersey and Irwell Navigation, making it a unique one-of-a-kind piece in the art world. Created using oil painting technique, this artwork captures the essence of the region and is a valuable addition to any art collection.
