River Irwell in Weir, Lancashire
The River Irwell at Weir, Lancashire, England. Here, close to its source (which is a little further north, at Cliviger), the Irwell is little more than a stream.

The infant River Irwell
This photograph was taken just downstream of the site of Irwell Springs Bleach, Dye and Print works. When this works (now demolished) was in business, the Irwell was already heavily polluted at this point with effluent. Now it runs clean here, at the start of its journey which will take it through Bacup, then down the Rossendale Valley to Rawtenstall, thence to Bury and on southwards to the great city of Manchester, where most of its water will disgorge into the Manchester Ship Canal and finally find its way into the Mersey estuary and the Irish Sea.

The infant River Irwell (2)
See also Image Settling tanks were located just upstream of this point, on the left side. They removed solid particles, but soluble pollutants were not removed and persisted until the works had closed.

New housing development on Beaufort Road, Weir
In the current economic climate, such housing development is rare. However it is said locally that you get more house for your money in Weir.
