Looking out on the Mersey

Looking out across at Runcorn. The buildings on the right centre are actually on the Manchester Ship Canal and can be seen here.

Power house

Before the Silver Jubilee Bridge was built there was a transporter bridge here, which closed in 1961. The power house for the transporter bridge has survived, in Widnes on the bank of the Mersey.

Silver Jubilee Bridge

Yesterday (all my troubles seemed so far away), we looked at Widnes from the Silver Jubilee Bridge, now let's look back at the bridge from Widnes.

On the Mersey

This week we take a look at the river Mersey where it separates Runcorn and Widnes, the latter of which can be seen from the mighty Silver Jubilee Bridge which crosses the Mersey.

Stag

A stag (not a real one) overlooks the canal.
