   Free Bridgewater Canal mobile phone app available
A free Bridgewater Canal iPhone app written by Salford residents can now be downloaded by anybody interested in the historic waterway. Canal visitors making their way from Boothstown to Barton can use the app to look out for landmarks, buildings and animals. Features also include historic images of the canal, interesting facts and memories from local people. Titled ‘The Bridgewater Canal – a waterside trail’, the app has been designed to bring the heritage and nature of the Bridgewater Canal to life on people’s mobile phones and can be downloaded for free from the Apple app store. As part of the Bridgewater Canal 250th anniversary, The Friends of Salford Museum and Art Gallery have written the app with help from Salford City Council and Salford Community Leisure. It’s been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Councillor Paula Boshell, Salford City Council’s lead member for neighbourhoods, culture and leisure said: “The free app is a brilliant way to find out more about the Bridgewater Canal and its fascinating past over the last 250 years. If you have an iPhone and love the great outdoors, I’d really recommend it.” Download the Bridgewater app from the Apple app store -http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/waterside-trail/id463720831 Source: Salford Council.
