Cloudy morning on the West Coast Main Line
Near Winwick Quay is Class 40 number 40002 heading a MOD train for Chorley from the yards at Warrington. Was the land on the left sold, I wonder?

St Helens Canal, Hulme Lock
Despite being one of the earliest pound-lock canals in Britain, most of the St Helens Canal, earlier known as the Sankey Brook Navigation, between Warrington and Newton-le-Willows was filled in and landscaped during the 1970s. More recently the Sankey Canal Restoration Society have been allowed to conduct archaeological investigations in the Winwick area and have uncovered, inter alia, Hulme Lock. The tops of the walls of the still largely infilled lock chamber are on the left; to the right another stone-lined channel was a spillway or by-wash, allowing surplus water in times of heavy rain to bypass the lock without washing over the gates; eventually this water would be diverted into a nearby stream or river. Behind the fence on the right and at a slightly lower level was the lock-keeper's cottage, the foundations of which have also been dug out and conserved (as shown in another picture in this section).

Gemini Sculpture
Everywhere seems to be going in for these little sculptures. This one guards the entrance to the business park, just East of the retail park where IKEA is sited. Not sure what it's meant to be - just a shiny sculpture.

Winwick Dry Dock
This is Winwick Dry Dock which was part of the Sankey St. Helens Canal (the oldest canal in England apparently). The canal in this grid square has been virtually completely filled in and only this dry dock and remnants of Hulme lock are visible signs of the canal's existence.

Hulme Lock, Sankey St.Helens Canal, Winwick Quay
This is what is left of Hulme Lock which formed part of the Sankey St.Helens canal. There used to be a cottage associated with this lock and it would have been to the left of the canal as seen from this viewpoint.

Winwick Dry Dock on the Sankey/ St Helens Canal
The lock is normally dry - but when there is heavy rainfall and a high tide on the Mersey, the water backs up the Sankey Brook, and reaches a level where water flows into the sluice through which it used to drain off into the Brook.
