The textile industry in England had a major centre in the Oldham, Bolton, Manchester triangle of Lancashire, with the nearby port of Liverpool mostly used for exports. Due to high port costs, it was sometimes cheaper to use the port of Hull, a situation which led eventually to the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894, allowing the mill region direct access to the Irish Sea.
