Latchford history
Latchford was originally a township in the ancient parish of Grappenhall, in Cheshire. It was also part of Bucklow Hundred, and was close to the border with Lancashire. Between 1894 and 1974, part of the County Borough of Warrington was placed within Warrington, and the registration county of Lancashire, while the rest of the area became a civil parish named “Latchford Without”
Latchford Railway Viaduct
Latchford viaduct was opened on 8 July 1893 to carry the London and North Western Railway’s Stockport to Warrington line over the Manchester Ship Canal. The last passengers service ran in 1962, but the line continued to carry freight. It finally closed to all traffic in July 1985, when it was deemed too expensive to make extensive repairs to keep it operational.
Latchford Locks
Latchford was chosen as the location of intermediate locks on the Manchester Ship Canal. These comprise a larger lock for ocean-going vessels and a smaller lock for coasters, tugs and barges. A ship mooring area was provided on the canal’s south bank and enabled two large vessels to pass each other at this point.
