An entrance to Victoria Park
Quite a large area is fenced off though there is no obvious activity being undertaken within the fence. At this point it has fallen over completely.

Howley Lock
A disused lock that bypassed Howley Weir on the River Mersey in Warrington. Made redundant by the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal, the lock is normally empty except at high tide (20 miles inland), revealing unusual rotary paddle gear. This picture was taken on one of the rare occasions when high spring tides top the weir and the lock. The bridge, now secured for safety, leads to an island ("Monkey Island") formed between the weir and the lock.

The Black Bear, Knutsford Road
The name Latchford means "ford over the Laecc or stream", in this case, the River Mersey, crossed at this point by a ford before the first wooden bridge was built. Its location is just to the east of Black Bear Bridge, the Mersey was later diverted for the industrial revolution in Warrington.
