Swan and cygnets, Sankey Canal
The Act authorising the Sankey Brook Navigation was passed in 1755. The Canal which was cut subsequently was carrying coal by 1757, making the Sankey England’s First Canal of the Industrial Revolution, built to bring coal down to the growing chemical industries of Liverpool which rapidly expanded and spread back along the line of the Canal to St Helens, Earlestown and Widnes which were small villages until this period. The Sankey can thus be credited with the industrial growth of the region, it was built for Mersey Flats, the sailing craft of the local Rivers.
It now forms the heart of the Sankey Valley Park a haven for wildlife and well worth an afternoon stroll or cycle.

Railway Junction, Burtonwood
Although it's not quite clear, and it's at times like this that you wish you have a higher vantage point, in the centre of this picture, located at around SJ 587 931, is a railway junction where the main north/south line from Warrington splits. This is a south view and the line which heads off to the left is the main line heading north and the line running off to the right makes its way to join an east/west line at Earlestown. The land in the foreground is used for pasture, probably for horses although no livestock was around at the time this picture was taken.
