I agree - great photos. Not having seen the original post, I don't know whether this is of use to that person, but the "business records" of the Manchester Ship Canal Company are at Greater Manchester County Records Office (in Manchester, but not the same at the Central Library that has parish records, newspapers etc)
http://www.gmcro.co.uk/catalogues/userguide/firms.htm
See section B10 on the link - includes a photographic collection as well as minute books and all sorts of business papers.

There's also the "Bridging the Years" website about the Bridgewater & Manchester Ship Canals at
http://www.canalarchive.org.uk/

Apologies if these links have already been provided on the earlier posts.
