The Packet House

The Packet House in Worsley, a Grade II listed building, dates from the eighteenth century. It was from the steps at the front of the house, in the left corner of this photograph, that those wishing to travel on the Bridgewater Canal would board their vessel, after buying their ticket at the Packet House.

Passenger services started on the Canal in 1769 and by 1781 there was a daily service between Manchester and Worsley.
