Ellesmere Port /ˈɛlzmɪərpɔːrt/ is a large town and port in Cheshire, England, south of the Wirral on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal. The town had a population of 55,715 in 2011.
As well as a service sector economy, the town has retained large industries including Stanlow oil refinery, a chemical works and the Vauxhall Motors car factory. There are also a number of tourist attractions: the National Waterways Museum, the Blue Planet Aquarium and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet.
The town of Ellesmere Port was founded at the outlet of the never completed Ellesmere Canal. The canal now renamed was designed and engineered by William Jessop and Thomas Telford as part of a project to connect the rivers Severn, Mersey and Dee. The canal was intended to be completed in sections. In 1795 the section between the River Mersey at Netherpool and the River Dee at Chester was opened. However the canal was not finished as first intended; it never reached the River Severn. Upon reevaluation it was decided that the costs to complete the project were not projected to be repaid because of a decrease in expected commercial traffic. There had been a loss of competitive advantage caused by steam engine-related economic advances (nationally, regionally and locally) during the first decade of canal construction. During or before the construction of the canal the village of Netherpool changed its name to the Port of Ellesmere, and by the early 19th century, to Ellesmere Port.

Thank everyone for supporting me and making my youtube videos
“By Bolinder to Ellesmere Port" - Part 1. Atherstone to Middlewich. This video is dedicated to boatman Ken Ward and his family. I have recently had a DVD made from a VHS tape that I bought back in the early 1990’s, the title is “By Bolinder to Ellesmere Port” featuring NB ‘69’ ‘Greyhound’ and the boat captain Malcolm Burge and also Helen Grant, transporting a load of bagged and palletised coal from Atherstone to Ellesmere Port. I have shortened the video by about 29mins from the original length of 1hr 15mins. And shall upload it in two parts. I have checked to see if the original publishing company exists and can find no trace of it, if there are any valid objections to the video being displayed on this site, I shall willingly remove it.

On July 7th 2013, a group of 10 boats all with crew's of at least 2, completed one of the most wonderful cruises on the British canal/river system. Organised by canal veteran and IWA enthusiast Mike Carter. Mike has organised many of these trips in the past and has enormous experience, navigating along the commercial shipping lanes of The Manchester Ship Canal and across the sometimes treacherous tidal River Mersey. Without Mike's knowledge and skill, this trip would have been almost impossible for a single boat.
