Underneath the arches
This graffitied entrance conceals a passageway which used to lead beneath Coronation Road and gave access to coal supplies from the old Deansgate Lane Colliery which were to be loaded onto vessels in the Avon Cut, at the point where the Gaol Ferry also used to operate.

Old letterbox on Coronation Road
A box has been here since the mid 1800s, and it is unusual in that it does not bear the reigning monarch's cypher. See Image

All sorts of junk left at low tide in the Avon
Bits of bikes, shopping trolleys, a ladder, a fork and a sleeping bag all left for the river gods

Gaol Ferry ramp
Steep incline where the access track to the old ferry used to be before the nearby iron bridge (just visible) was constructed across the New Cut (itself completed in 1809). The land on this side of the Cut is artificially high because the vast amount of spoil (from the excavation of the new waterway) was deposited predominantly on the southern bank.

Getting to the detail
Gaol Ferry Bridge has (finally) been shut for inspection and maintenance. It appears that the problems are a bit worse than were first thought.

Some of the work is done
Gaol Ferry Bridge was built in 1935 and, somewhat surprisingly, is not a swing bridge - unlike Vauxhall Bridge downstream. It was thought unnecessary as marine traffic on the New Cut was diminishing. Even so, the steel lattice structure is now in a parlous state and requiring urgent repairs. What was expected to be a tough job has proved even tougher since the covers were removed.
Having removed a lot of the decking and the supports, a plastic 'tent' has been put in place whilst paint-stripping and rust blasting is carried out and materials prevented from dropping into the river below. Some of the steel has already been treated this way.
Currently the timescale has been extended and the costs projected to be around £1.5 million.
