Even stranger to see Eccles and Irlam mentioned by someone here - I grew up in those two places!
You mean the Bridgewater Mill by Patricroft bridge, right? If you're interested in Victorian era tech, there's also a Nasmyth steam hammer a little bit up Worsley Road.

- jwdunne 8y agoGrew up in Irlam, went to school in Eccles! Lots of family in Eccles too. Small world! That's the one. I'll check that out - I love stuff like this. The entire canal has a lot of great historic stuff along it. I used to cycle down it to work in Media City and if it's not tech, it's beautiful scenery all the way down.
