The Hulme Locks Branch Canal is a canal in the city of Manchester. It is 200 metres (0.12 mi) long and was built to provide a direct waterway between the Mersey and Irwell Navigation and the Bridgewater Canal. The canal opened in 1838 and was superseded in 1995 by a new lock at Pomona Dock 3. As both of its locks remain closed, the canal is now overgrown.
