Johnson's Hillock Locks [LLC]
Looking north on the Leeds and Liverpool at the start of the flight of seven known as Johnson's Hillock Locks. This is the point where the southern section of the Lancaster Canal diverged left on what became the Walton Summit Branch but closed in the 1930s. There is now just a 300-yard backwater with the rest of the three-mile branch almost completely filled in. When it became clear that the central section of the Lancaster Canal crossing the Ribble could not be completed the Southern section, from Walton Summit to Wigan, was leased to the Leeds and Liverpool from 1864 onwards.
