Drunken elephants really do exist, and their chaotic behavior is hilarious. Thanks to fermented marula fruit (which has an alcohol content similar to that of beer), these gentle giants end up getting drunk.

How to lift out 3 ton lock gates in Manchester city centre ?

Posted on March 29, 2026 by agogo22

1 Mar 2026 MANCHESTER
In this video we are in Manchester city centre with the ‪@canalrivertrust‬ They are replacing the lock gates at lock 87 canal street near the Gay village. This is part of ongoing maintenance work on our national canal system. This proved to be logistically very difficult as we are in the middle of a city and the lock gates weigh 3 tonnes each. The gates are on lock 87 on the Rochdale canal that runs right through Manchester city centre. So how do you lift 3 ton lock gates in Manchester city centre. Well its difficult. A large crane was used and the canal lock had to be drained. Its thought the lock gates had sunk into the base of the canal lock. We get a unique insight into the work of the canal and River Trust during their winter maintenance programme. The Rochdale canal was built between the years 1798 and 1804.

Where are canal lock gates made ?

In this video we look at the work of the Canal River Trust. We start at Lock 69 on the Rochdale canal in Manchester. The Canal and River Trust are replacing the lock gates at this location as part of their rolling 25 year replacement and canal maintenance program. We ask the question where are the lock gates made. This took us to the Bradley workshops just outside Wolverhampton. We look around the lock gate workshop and see the history of this former canal basin. There is a canal boat dry dock where once the canal boats were repaired. The lock gates are made of English oak and its great to see the canal lock gates being built. Meanwhile in Manchester on the Rochdale canal the old Lock gates are taken away and the new lock gates are delivered.
