Manchester Ship Canal Docks Map dated 1904

T

Few pieces of industrial cartography feel as evocative as a ship canal map. This 1904 plan of the Manchester Ship Canal Docks captures the working life of one of Britain’s great engineering achievements - a place of warehouses, basins, trade routes and relentless movement. It has all the appeal of antique urban and industrial wall art, making it perfect for Manchester homes, shipping enthusiasts, canal history lovers and anyone drawn to vintage maps with grit, story and character.
