Victorian Manchester must have been a fascinating time to live. To think all these engineering marvels are still around today and still in full working order. This stuff will be around for hundreds of years to come too! I love looking at all the ingenious engineering every time I'm in Manchester, it never gets old.
Absolutely wonderful, recently visited the Aqueduct and was very fortunate to see it in action. Your film captures the essence of this marvellous work of Victorian ingenuity.
Glad you enjoyed it - did you find also on my channel, the video of the Ponty' Aqueduct and Standedge (Horseboating the Diggle locks). Also there, the Marple Aqueduct and others.
A very Interesting, enjoyable and informative video. I have been across the swing aqueduct many times but never actual seen it swing. Many thanks from the Boats and Canals Forum. This is one of the 12 wonders as featured in my video 'Wonders of the UK Waterways Network'.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it. There are more narrowboats to find if you browse my channel. Search the "Boats" section for"The Pontcysyllte Aquedut" - I think you'll enjoy that too! Also some horse-drawn boats.
Thanks for sharing nice to see it working :)

A very wonderful sight to behold. "Kerry Rose" is a beautiful narrowboat. I have never seen anything like that here in the states
