The Lock Keepers Cottage

Built in 1804, the cottage was home to a ‘lock keeper’ to collect toll monies and open the lock gates.

Having fallen into disrepair over the years, the cottage was bought and restored 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, namely the original fireplace, with Lock 92 outside still being a functioning lock and popular site to this day!

Stay in the heart of Castlefield

Just a stone’s throw away from our Castlefield Rooms, our cottage is the perfect compliment to any event in the Castlefield Rooms.
