In this family friendly video we get to see the Secret trap door under the canal. The Canal is Manchester city centres Rochdale canal. It has a trap door in the base near the canal lock 89 and this leads to the underground River, the river Tib. The river Tib is one of manchester’s lost waterways. Lost rivers. This trapdoor is part of Manchester’s history as it is over 200 years old. Its actually 215 years old and put in when the Rochdale canal was built. We were invited to see the conservation work the canal and rivers trust were carrying out in Manchester’s Rochdale canal. This is a wonderful piece of canal and British history Thank you to http://www.substormflow.com for the pictures of the river Tib in this video. #canalandrivertrust #conservation #canal
