 | | The river is culverted underneath the car park of the City of Manchester Stadium (the site of a former gasworks), beneath the former UMIST campus (London Road to Princess Street), and again at Hulme Street, appearing briefly at Gloucester Street before flowing under the former gasworks at Gaythorn, reappearing at City Road East. |
 | | At Deansgate (Old Chester Road) the river meets the Bridgewater Canal head on, where a sluice gate (a listed structure) allowed water to feed the Canal, until the water quality of the Medlock became too polluted for canal use. |
 | | Normally the level of the river is several feet below the level of the canal, and the river is carried in a tunnel under the Castlefield canal basin, reappearing at Potato Wharf, where it is supplemented by excess canal water draining into a circular weir. |
