The ST HELEN swings to turn below the former Bewsey swing bridge. This bridge gave the nearest access to Warrington (to the right) for men based at the US Base at RAF Burtonwood, and a large number of accommodation huts were built in the area around Bewsey Old Hall, just to the left of the bridge. This section of the canal is a well-known coarse fishery.
