Historic boating
The ST HELEN swings to turn below the former Bewsey swing bridge. This bridge gave the nearest access to Warrington (to the right) for men based at the US Base at RAF Burtonwood, and a large number of accommodation huts were built in the area around Bewsey Old Hall, just to the left of the bridge. This section of the canal is a well-known coarse fishery.

St.Helens Canal, Sankey Valley Park, Warrington
This is the view looking south from a bridge over the canal in the park. It's a popular spot for fishing, and often attracts swans. The park follows the canal a mile or so in either direction, and to the south joins the trans pennine cycle path.

Paving in Centre of Maze, Sankey Valley Park
Just to the West of St.Helens Canal lies a hedge maze which is open to the public at most times. In the centre are this mosaic and, opposite it, a slightly chilling statue of a gaunt looking woman. You'll have to visit to see the statue, unless someone else uploads a picture, but don't forget to take a ball of string for the maze . . .

Disused Barn, Sankey Valley Park
Right on the border with grid square SJ5889 to the West, are these disused buildings. The sign warns dog owners about fouling. A large derelict house also lies nearby - otherwise, apart from the park, the area is all new housing estates.
