not the most of inspiring sites i know the only saving grace for me was a huge caged ladder next to it that required further inspection and it gave some pretty decent views across the ship canal and towards fiddlers ferry ....didnt spend to much time on the top as it was swaying quite bad in the wind
im not good at finding info out on these sort of places but google earth tells me its that its the sluicemasters house (for the sluice gates) maybe thats where he lived lol ..thats all really
some info on that area of the canal
