Hulme's Bridge Ferry.

This ferry is on the Manchester Ship Canal and connects Irlam, on the north bank, with Flixton to the south. It is still operational and is a free ferry. It replaced a bridge crossing the River Irwell, which was canalised during the construction of the canal in the 1890s. I believe it still operates because an Act of Parliament requires it.
