Location
From Barbridge Junction, the original Chester Canal heads north-west, and is level for 2.8 miles (4.5 km), before the first of the two Bunbury Locks is reached on the descent to Chester. In the opposite direction, the canal is level for 5.5 miles (8.9 km) before it reaches the two Hack Green Locks. Along the Middlewich Branch, which heads north-east, the first lock is Cholmondeston Lock, 1.4 miles (2.3 km) from the junction. Just 2 miles (3.2 km) to the south of the junction on the main line is Hurleston Junction, where another branch of the Shropshire Union network, now rebranded the Llangollen Canal, turns off to head towards Llangollen and the Montgomery Canal.
