Manchester Ship Canal, Thelwall Ferry
Known locally as The Penny Ferry but officially called The Thelwall Ferry, has provided a crossing of the Ship Canal since its opening in 1894. The canal's emergence created many new trade opportunities but it created problems getting across Warrington. Where there was an established right of way, the ship canal company was obliged to keep it open. Usually this meant a road bridge or viaduct but in Thelwall, where the canal cut through a farm and footpath, they opted instead to provide a small ferryboat service and, for the past 120 years, a small rowing boat has been taking passengers from one side of the Manchester Ship Canal to the other in order to maintain the long-established public right of way.
