The Anderton Boat Lift opened in 1875 and joined the River Weaver with the Trent and Mersey Canal. A major use was carrying salt from the Cheshire salt mines. It was converted to electric power in 1908 following salt induced rusting of the cast iron hydraulic system. It closed in 1983 after  an accident but was converted back to hydraulic power and reopened in 2002.
