Sankey Bridges: Swing Bridge over the Sankey Canal
There is a series of canal crossings at Sankey Bridges. This one is a narrow swing bridge which was for emergency use if the Liverpool Road bridge was out of action. The swing bridge is approximately 30 yards south of the road bridge and there is a rail bridge about 80 yards further south.

Site of railway swing bridge
The Warrington-Garston line originally crossed the Sankey Canal by means of a swing bridge, which became fixed after the canal was officially abandoned in 1963. The canal had priority, which meant the bridge was swung over in its favour at night. This led to a locomotive, off route, plunging into the water in November 1858.
