This is a gem of engineering.The Anderton Boat Lift was built in 1875 get boats from the River Weaver, to the Trent & Mersey Canal  to transport salt from the local salt works. salt has been mined around here since roman times and was a very important commodity and still is. The topmost part of the lift is a later modification that used electric motors and huge ballast weights.  The restored lit today works on the original hydraulic principle.
