River Mersey
South of Warrington the river executes several large meanders. This photograph was taken at the apex of one of these, looking upstream. In the distant centre, but obscured by the foreground tree, is part of the original course of the river. The arm coming in from the rear left is a manmade alteration to the river course made to straighten the river upstream of this point.The original channel linked the river to the Manchester Ship Canal when the latter was constructed in the 1890s.
The path on the extreme right forms part of the Transpennine Trail and, just out of the picture further right, lies a section of the Runcorn and Latchford Canal.

Crossing the Mersey
This train is crossing the river Mersey heading south. The river also separates Warrington Arpley and Walton old yard. A small footpath crosses this bridge right beside the railway. This was the view in 1984.

Runcorn and Latchford Canal
A section of this canal still in water lies here by Eastford Road at Morley Common to the south of Warrington. The canal was opened in 1804 by the Mersey and Irwell Navigation to avoid difficulties on the Mersey in the Warrington area. The canal was closed with the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal in the 1890s.

Mersey bridges
The stone built bridge (Twelve Arches Bridge) carried the Grand Junction Railway from Warrington to Birmingham across the river Mersey and the Runcorn and Latchford Canal. It was opened in 1837. The foreground bridge was built in the 1890s when it was necessary to divert other railway lines through this area when the Manchester Ship Canal was constructed.

West Coast Main Line bridge over the Mersey
Seen from the adjacent bridge on the Chester line. There is in fact a pair of bridges here, the nearer (eastern) one disused, and the far (western) one carrying the electrified main line.
