Camellia Drive, WARRINGTON, WA5 1GQ

Located on Liverpool Road, Soapys is one example of a modern phenomenon: the hand car wash. These establishments, often located in former petrol retailing premises and usually employing workers from eastern Europe, have proliferated across the country in recent years. They are normally swift and thorough, doing a better job than automated 'drive through' machines. There has been controversy with some accusations that they can have dubious employment practices (although there is no suggestion that applies here), but they are undoubtedly popular with the public.

The level crossing here gives access to a modern housing estate sandwiched between the railway and the River Mersey. The railway itself is a freight only line nowadays carrying only a handful of trains each day although at one time it was heavily used as a route for coal to Fiddlers Ferry power station.

Quay Fold, giving access to a new housing estate, crosses the freight only railway between Arpley and Ditton by means of this level crossing. The puddle is evidence of recent rain.

The signal box is labelled Monks Siding.
