Full name: The Manchester Ashton-under-Lyne Oldham and Stockport Canal.
Route: From a junction with the Rochdale Canal at Ducie Street in Manchester to Ashton-under-Lyne where it meets the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, 6.7 miles long with 18 locks.
In 1798, Benjamin Outram was retained by the company to complete the final section of the Ashton Canal which included the Store Street Aqueduct, probably the first successful skew arch aqueduct.
