View from Cawley's Bridge Image looking SE along the Bridgewater Canal towards its junction with the Trent & Mersey Canal. In the distance is the newly-opened M56 motorway. Since the time of the photo this area has seen massive redevelopment as more recent photos will show. On the left a marina has been excavated & on the right Preston Brook Marina Village has been built. Of the 4 decrepit-looking warehouses only the 3rd along survives; between it & the 4th warehouse lies Norton Basin. Beyond the 4th warehouse the steel sheeting indicates engineering work & a temporary narrowing of the canal which allowed me to take a photo from the opposite direction, see: Image
