Welcome to the WHCC Watch House was the fifth club to join the Federation of Bridgewater Cruising Clubs.

The Watch House Cruising Club, is on the towpath side of the Bridgewater Canal between Dane Road bridge and Edge Lane bridge in Stretford, Greater Manchester, it was founded in 1964 and has grown in size over the years. It operates a full cruising programme throughout the year with many weekend cruises and attendance at various rallies during the season. When not out cruising, the clubrooms and bar are open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings 19.30-23.30 as well as Sunday afternoons 12.00-19.00 to all passing boaters. The Watch House is the oldest building in Stretford, also the oldest on the canal and was, in fact, here before the canal was built. In those days it was a farm building but since then it has had a chequered history as stables for canal horses, as a coffin store, saddle manufacturing, cottages and now our club premises. Gradually the members have improved the building and upgraded the facilities. The major improvments undertaken over the past few years have been the extension into the old stable block, which has been turned into a concert room with a stage and a refit to the kitchen area. Apart from the bar, the services available are toilets, water, Elsan disposal, overnight moorings and a fund of help and advice from our many long serving members.
