The Anderton Boat Lift is a tremendous feat of engineering that provides a 50 foot (15.2 m) vertical link between the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal. The structure was built in 1875 and was used for more than 100 years until it was closed in 1983 due to corrosion. Restoration started in 2001 and the lift reopened in 2002. The structure is designated as a scheduled monument.
