In 1894, Queen Victoria opened the canal linking Manchester to the world through the Mersey Estuary and the Irish Sea. It had been constructed in just 6 years, involved some 16000 men, and was considered a major construction project, covering some 55 kilometres. Its completion resulted in expansion of industry and commerce in the entire area. With the advent of container shipping in the 1970s, however, ships simply became too big to be able to enter the harbour. Consequently, the docks were finally closed in 1982. A new destination of this area had to be found; it would be transformed into the Salford Quays.
