Fletcher’s Canal was a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) long canal in Greater Manchester which connected the Wet Earth Colliery to the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal at Clifton Aqueduct. The canal is now derelict and no longer used.The canal was built on the south bank of the River Irwell through the area now known as Clifton Country Park. West of Pilkington’s long sections of the canal are evident although none of these sections hold water.
