A variety of road and rail bridges cross the River Irwell here, joining the twin cities of Salford and Manchester across the boundary. A short distance downstream (behind the photographer) the Irwell becomes the Ship Canal, the makers of the Canal having taken advantage of, and widened, the course of the river in the 19th century. Ocean-going liners were enabled to berth in the nearby Pomona Docks carrying passengers all over the world.
