The terminus of the Wirral line of the Chester Canal is at Ellesmere Port where the paired Whitby Locks once led to the Mersey and now lead down to the Manchester Ship Canal. Currently home to the Boat Museum the site is well worth a visit. The locks can be seen to the right of this shot with the hydraulic enginehouse, boilerhouse and chimney left of centre. The island warehouse stands behind with the three hipped roof sections just visible.
