This cache is a small magnetic key container containing a log, you'll need to bring your own pencil.
It is located on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal behind the Lowry Theatre in Salford Quays. The area is paved and wheelchair accessible.
Congratulations phspid on being first to find. :-)
This is the area when the canal reaches Manchester (or more properly Salford) and enters a web of quays and jetties. The old Salford-Manchester Docks disappeared in the early 1970s, in the wake of improved road, air and rail freight systems, and over the past few decades, as Manchester has ceased to be the strong centre of manufacturing that it used to be, the canal has fallen largely into disuse. The docks were redeveloped as Salford Quays, a large, prestigious inner city regenerative project of quality waterside housing, enterprise zone, entertainment and recreational complexes, and light industry.
There are some nice views here down the canal and across to the new developments of media city(new home to the BBC) and the Imperial War Museum, and there is of course the Lowry Outlet Mall nearby, for a bit of bargain shopping.
