Memories of Latchford Locks

Artist Sarah Harris is inviting Warrington residents to immerse themselves in the history of the Manchester Ship Canal when she presents ‘Memories of Latchford Locks’ at Warrington Rowing Club.

The event will take place on Thursday 5th March and Friday 6th March, exploring a major part of Warrington’s rich industrial heritage. Latchford Locks used to be a place of constant movement with ships passing through from all over the world.

Latchford residents, past and present, are invited to reminisce and share memories of the Locks and the surrounding area. People can share stories from working on or around the canal, growing up nearby, waiting at the Locks, or simply watching the water flow.

It will be a pop-up exhibition displaying images, records and audio recordings relating to the area and its connection to the Ship Canal. With opportunities for people to write and record their own stories too, helping to shape the next phase of work.

Date & time = Thursday 5th March & Friday 6th March at 6pm to 9pm

Ticket price = free (no booking required)
