Railway line at Preston Brook, Cheshire
Looking south from Chester Road Bridge. This line runs between Warrington and Crewe. Both sides are infested with Japanese knotweed. Apparently this almost indestructible invasive plant can be destroyed (at last) by use of an insect (Aphalara itadori) which only eats knotweed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_knotweed

The Wooden Canal Boat Society website reports in 1998 that: "The North Staffordshire Warehouse at Preston Brook still stands empty. It used to be the Old Number One pub and night club until it burned down. As a listed building it has now been rebuilt and is being advertised as offices, but has been empty for several years." http://www.wcbs.org.uk/old-news/southams-journey-from-runcorn-to-ashton
