At that time, 1945, the Macclesfield Canal was owned by the London North Eastern Railway Co. (LNER). This was because the original owners, the Manchester Sheffield & Lincoln Railway Co. (MSLR), went to the LNER at amalgamation in 1923. The MSLR had bought the canal, together with the Peak Forest and Ashton canals, in 1847.
