Wirral and Mersey Special at Helsby ? 1966
The tour included the line between Mouldsworth Junction and Helsby which had seen no regular passenger service since 1875, although it remained an important freight link for petrochemicals from Stanlow to the Midlands and South. This traffic had largely ceased by 1990 and the line closed in 1991. Ahead of the locomotive is the bridge crossing the main line from Chester to Manchester.

The Tunnel, Mountskill Quarry
Mountskill (Helsby) Quarry was an important source of employment in the village in the 19th century and until the 1920s. It had its own tramway link to Ince Pier whence the rock was shipped by barge to Liverpool - and used in many of the city's great buildings. It is now a Nature Reserve (with public access) and the main path from the village up through the quarry to Helsby Hill passes through this curved tunnel (seen here from the uphill side).
