The Lock Keepers Cottage
Lock Keepers Cottage is a beautiful piece of industrial history in the city.
Built in 1804 to aid the connection and crossing between Rochdale Canal and Bridgewater Canal, the cottage was for a ‘lock keeper’ to collect toll monies and open the lock gates. It has since seen many tenants and had fallen into complete disrepair before finally being bought and
brought back to life in the early 1980’s.
Bought by the Ramsbottom family, it has since been a home for
many members of the family, a café, and now as a holiday cottage and place to stay for many of our wedding couples.
Many original features are still visible inside the house, mainly the original fireplace, with Lock 92 outside still being a functioning lock and popular site to this day!
