The view of the Sankey Valley from Stephenson's Viaduct, as seen from the 12.01 from Newton-le-Willows
The Sankey Brook runs leftwards from the centre. Parallel to it, and conveniently marked by a cyclist, runs the line of the infilled Sankey/ St Helens Canal. Stephenson had to build the massive viaduct, a 'first' in railway engineering, to accommodate the masts of the Mersey flats, the sailing vessels for which England's first industrial canal was built.

The Sankey Viaduct & the Sankey Canal
The snow enables us to see the line of England's first modern canal (1757 - so 250 years old this year) as it approaches the viaduct Stephenson had to build to take the world's first passenger railway across it. The high masts of the Mersey flats using the canal meant a clearance of 70 feet had to be allowed for beneath the railway.
