Canning Dock
Since 2009 this lock from the Canning Dock has been the entrance point to the western end of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. This lock, and a new stretch of canal along the waterfront known as the Liverpool Tunnels Link, replaced a sea lock into the Mersey Estuary allowing canal boats to safely enter the city. The white building in the background is the Liverpool Museum, home of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway 0-4-2 'Lion' - (See 42070).
