The St Helens Canal from the footbridge
The fenced off areas of the canal bank are unsafe.
The Sankey Valley or St Helens Canal runs 15 miles from St Helens to the Mersey at Widnes. In 1755 an Act of Parliament was passed to make the Sankey Brook navigable as far as Broad Oak. The engineers constructing it found it more practical to build a separate canal. This opened as far as the Old Double Lock in 1757, predating the first section of the Bridgewater canal (which claims to be the first modern canal) by six years. It closed 1963 when trade died off. The Sankey Canal Restoration Society is working to get it re-opened.

Railway west of Monks Siding
The railway here was opened in 1854 by the St Helens Canal and Railway Company and was later absorbed by the London and North Western Railway. It is still in use for regular freight trains although the passenger service ended in the early 1960s. The attention of the weed killer train is evidently needed.
