Geocache Description:

A small cache near the Black Bear Park. This is the fourth cache in a series of four in the park.

Black Bear Canal, now infilled, once ran from docks on the Manchester Ship Canal near Wilderspool Causeway (to the west of Latchford) to the Mersey at Manor Lock in Howley, providing a shortcut for shipping, avoiding a large river bend and weir.  The Black Bear Canal remained in use for the transport of South American hides to tanneries, until the 1960s, when it fell into disuse.

In 1981, the land was converted into parkland by the council.

You are looking for a nano cache on the edge of this park.

Please note: This was muggled within a week of going live, so to avoid this from happening again, please can you ensure that the cache is as well concealed as possible. Thanks.
