		Rowing is popular on the River Weaver, with competitive clubs based in Runcorn, Northwich, and Acton Bridge (The Grange School).

		Owing to the pumping of the brine, large tracts of land have been submerged, and there is thus a constant danger to houses.

		In general terms this is mainly due to its fortunate position in being in the centre of the salt and chemical industries of Cheshire, its endless supply of water, and the enterprising attitude of its past and present administrators.
		The Weaver Navigation did well financially throughout the 19th century, mainly due to continued and vigorous programmes of modernisation, this kept it attractive to carriers especially when you compare it to the rapidly dating narrow canals.
		The river was made deeper and the channel wider, the docks at Weston Point (built in 1806 along with the Frodsham cut to the docks) were duplicated and also enlarged, and eventually coasters were able to navigate the river right up to Winsford.

	Anderton Boat Lift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anderton Boat Lift provides a link between two navigable waterways: the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal, and is situated near the village of Anderton, near Northwich, in north Cheshire, north-west England.
		As the river is approximately 50ft (16m) lower than the canal, the boat lift provided an alternative to a prolonged series of locks: as the river and canal run very close together, there was little space for the locks.
		Hydraulic rams are used to raise the tanks (which acted as counter-balances to each other) and any vessels in them from river-level to the level of the canal.

		Weaver's Cove needs the existing bridge to be torn down in order for the large LNG tankers to pass up the river.
		Jim Grasso, a consultant for Weaver's Cove, said the provision seems to be inconsistent with the permits for the new bridge, which he said requires the demolition of the old span.
		She also said there are serious concerns about the permits Weaver's Cove will have to get to do substantial dredging of the river.

		The river weaver is mostly a slow flowing river a bit like a large canal with very narrow marginal shelfs for the most part, i am afraid i have no pictures of the place but next time out on there i will take one and post it here for you.
		The shelves on the Weaver are very narrow, and the rest of the width of the river offers little in the way of interest for the carp.
		When the river has water on it there is no other place other than the margins (on both sides) which make any sense for the carp to be in.

		The River Weaver was by then capable of taking boats upto 100 tons and in 1777,when the Trent and Mersey Canal was built, both water-ways were used for carrying salt and the coal needed to produce it.
		The Weaver Navigation Trustees used a steep slope at Anderton to transfer cargo between the river and the canal which was just over 50 feet (19.3 metres) above it, but this was all done by hand and was back breaking work.
		A basin was then excavated in the river, and pathways, inclined planes and chutes were installed to assist the men working the cargoes.

		John Weaver was born in 1763 and, with three brothers, left home and family in the Netherlands, and came to America.
		Early in the morning he found a trail leading down to the Toe River, crossed it and went on to the mountain range called 'The Blue Ridge.' Taking the southern end, they crossed over into a nice fertile valley which was in a wild state but peopled with an Indian Village.

	Weaver flat wrecks on the River Weaver
		The first seriously hard frosts of the winter hit the River Weaver in Cheshire over the Christmas period, shrivelling back the last of the old year’s greenery to reveal more of the bare bones of the navigation again.
		Dredgings have now been dumped over many of the up- river wrecks and it is possible to walk out from the towpath to the island on the offside of the locks, created when the by-pass navigation was cut.
		There are Mersey flats and Weaver barges, an old bottom-opening dredging hopper and lots of narrow boats, many of them the ‘water-cress beds’ of the Mersey-Weaver company, all old and leaky when they were taken over by British Waterways in the 1950s.

	Anderton Boat Lift
		The Trustees of the River Weaver Navigation were duly opposed to the Trent and Mersey Canal, as their waterway had previously benefited from the local salt trade and the potteries' traffic, now seemingly in danger of being lost.
		In an attempt to encourage shippers to use the Weaver Navigation for the import of raw materials from the Mersey, two cranes were constructed in 1796 with the sole intention of lifting goods upwards, from the river basin to the canal.
		A large gantry was constructed from the river basin to the top of the valley, and a small canal basin was created to allow boats a 'waiting area'.

	The river's recovery
		The two structures effectively blocked the river to all migrating fish, with the exception of some eels, which could navigate the fish ladder, or wriggle around the dam.
		Weaver said baby shad and herring born in the upper river this year will return in about five years to spawn.
		Water will be pumped into the canal from the tidal portion of the river to address that problem, with aerators to keep the water from becoming stagnant.

	Weaver Navigation
		This river of ours that flows through Cheshire has been the subject of many a battle over who should control it and what should be done about it’s meandering ways.
		Industry now built up on the banks of the Weaver; the salt merchants found it easier to get their salt to other parts of the county; boat builders sprang up, large and small; the Weaver opened to Winsford and everywhere, there was work.
		Although Northwich came to depend on the river Weaver for most of it’s trade, being in it’s early days, a hive of industry largely thanks to Salt, as that industry declined, so did dependence become a shadow of it’s former self.

		The revision was based on the current accounting of catch and escapement, including the 2,124,000 Adams River, Lower Shuswap River, Birkenhead River, and Weaver Creek sockeye which have passed the Pacific Salmon Commission hydroacoustic site at Mission, B.C. over the past week.
		The Fraser River Panel would like to refer to the very serious problem that occurred in 1994 in the assessment of Late-run abundance that resulted in an escapement of Adams River and Lower Shuswap River sockeye approximately one-half Canada's desired level.
		Final preliminary estimates of catch and escapement are not expected until spawning ground estimates of sockeye arrivals are reported by DFO in early 1999.

		My concern over the current state of the Weaver is derived from the under utilisation of one of the UK's few inland waterways capable of supporting coastal and shortsea shipping.
		I have interviewed two shipowners, hitherto traders on the Weaver, and also the representative of the major shipper, the chemical complex base based in the Mid Cheshire region.
		In both instances it is evident that the deterioration in water levels in the River Weaver prevents vessels loading to their full capacity.

		Canal flats were built with the same general hull characteristics, but were unrigged, designed to be pulled by horses or tugs, but still strong and seaworthy enough to navigate the deep water Mersey to the docks at Liverpool.
		Early River Weaver flats were rather smaller, but improvements to the river and the prosperity of the salt trade led to the eventual development of a class of much bigger steam powered flats, the Weaver 'packets' towing one or two dumb flats behind them.
