BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mount Manisty is a large man-made hillock, uninhabited and located between the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Mersey 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Ellesmere Port in Cheshire, England. The mound, which is 100 feet (30 m) tall, was created from earth excavated during the building of the ship canal between Eastham and Ellesmere Port in the late 19th century. The feature forms a narrow elevated stretch of land between the canal (this section of navigation is known as Manisty cutting) and the river. Mount Manisty takes its name from the departmental engineer who was in charge of construction of this section, Edward Manisty, the second son of Sir Henry Manisty, one of the Justices of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice.
