Bridgewater Canal
Salford
The 5-mile route of the Bridgewater Canal in Salford from leafy Boothstown to post-industrial Barton winds its way through some of the most affluent areas in the UK, and also some of the most deprived: the world’s first commercial canal is home to impressive heritage features of international significance.
‘Hubs’ were created at key locations with interpretive and wayfinding graphics, and bench seating (based on the distinctive ‘starvationer’ boat shape). Sculptural elements were placed at intermediate places and included Cor-ten steel and cast bronze features.
