Swan on the Ship Canal
The presence of group of swans on the Manchester Ship Canal near the outfall from the former Davyhulme Wastewater treatment Plant is testament to how well the canal has been cleaned up since the days when it was a heavily polluted waterway. The area is now part of the Davyhulme Millennium Nature Reserve which was opened in 1999. It provides a mixed landscape of wetland, woods, water features and open land and is a designated Site of Biological Importance.

Startled Swan on the Ship Canal at Davyhulme
A swan, startled by the passing ferry, takes flight (it actually only flew for a few yards across to the other side of the canal).

Hulme Bridge Ferry and Ferry House
The ferry jetty on the south bank of the Manchester Ship Canal. The Hulmes Bridge free Ferry was established in 1885 by an act of parliament making the Manchester Ship Canal owners responsible for providing a free ferry to replace a low lying bridge that had to be demolished to allow access for tall ships up the canal. Although the ferry was closed in 2009, and the ferryman’s house left to fall into disrepair (see Image]) the service was reinstated in 2011 (http://www.urmston.net/forum/forum_detail.asp?ForumTitle=Ship%20Canal%20Ferry - "Urmston net") and runs between April and November. The house is currently being repaired and extended.

Hulme's Bridge Ferry
The abandoned ferry keepers house at the side of Hulme's Bridge Ferry, in Flixton, Greater Manchester.
Once the home of a gentleman who ferried people across the Manchester Ship Canal in a small rowing boat for a small fee. The current owners of the canal, Peel Holdings, have closed the ferry, some say illegally, as it's a public right of way, and have let the house fall into disuse.
