Manchester Ship Canal, lock gate facility.
The big shed was the MSC Co's gate repair shed. The gates are now metal but were originally Greenheart timber and the shed contained monstrous woodworking kit. The gates were then slid onto this device here that would tip them in to a vertical position to be picked up by the 250 ton crane that could get end on to this structure. The shed is level but the satellite shows that some of the tilting device remains in situ.

Barrier between the Ship Canal and the Mersey at Runcorn
This narrow barrier divides the two watercourses at Runcorn. Construction work on “The Mersey Gateway”, a new road bridge which will cross the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, can be seen beyond the wall. The new bridge, which will be just less than a mile to the east of the existing Silver Jubilee Bridge that connects the towns of Widnes and Runcorn, will connect the Central Expressway in Runcorn with the Eastern Bypass and Speke Road in Widnes. Construction work for the new bridge began on 7 May 2014, with the bridge due to be finished by 2017. The cooling towers of the Fiddlers Ferry power station also can just be seen on the horizon through the haze.
