Lever Bank Bleach Works

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair would appear to be a direct descendant of this family.

Accessed from Ladyshore Bridge, over the canal, the cobbled pathway is still very much evident.

Stanchions across the river still stand although the bridge/pipework they supported no longer exists.

A weir was built on the nearby River Irwell and water diverted through a small channel into a reservoir.

High quality stone walls are still evident along the banks of the river.
