Cache is near the iconic Anderton Boat Lift, built in 1875 to link the Trent and Mersey Canal to the Weaver Navigation raising or lowering boats 50 feet while still floating in water inside the huge caissons. It fell into disrepair in 1983, but this marvel of Victorian engineering was fully restored and re-opened in 2002 so can be enjoyed again. There is a wealth of information online about the Lift, far too much to put on this page, so if you are interested you can look it up. It's considered to be one of the seven wonders of the UK canal network.
There was a previous cache nearby, but it had become old and stale, and this one is a completely different type of hide in a different location. Please be careful when near the water's edge, especially with children and dogs, as it can be quite deep here even close to the edge unlike other parts of the canal, which are often only a couple of feet deep by the sides.
Please replace carefully where found, and there is no pen so you will have to take your own.
