Not my idea of a lock in

Sankey Canal is a short stretch added on to the St Helens canal around the Fiddlers Ferry Pub an ideal quiet place to sup a pint and watch the sun move over the horizon for the afternoon but you have to be on a push bike to get home.
Between 1762 and 1833, this was the end of the Sankey Canal, where boats joined or left the River Mersey. The lock became disused after the canal was extended to Widnes in 1833 but was restored in the 1980s by Warrington Council.
Although its not the easiest lock to get to with the River Mersey mud flats which you can see when its low tide. Otherwise to get in the canal you have to wait for the high spring tides.
