The Manchester Ship Canal
Looking east from the London Road Bridge at Wilderspool. An interesting comparison with
Image, taken in 1994. The canal-side vegetation has grown quite considerably. The bridges in the distance are the Cantilever, with Ackers Road [1100 m away] and the Knutsford Road [A50] Swing Bridge 1600 m away].
