Description

This is a crane located on the east side of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Basin, dating from the mid-19th century. It is made of cast iron and stands on a hexagonal concrete plinth. Historically, even though the canal's significance diminished with the rise of railways, the canal wharf continued to serve as an important stone depot. Arthur Speight established a company around 1830, and by 1893, David Speight was promoting himself as a stone merchant and contractor, highlighting the large stone wharves for stock, stables, plant, and offices, with a workforce of 70 to 100 people, primarily dealing with Bolton Wood stone.
