Bridgewater canal, between bridges 68 and 69
The houses are on Quay Place, but there was never a wharf here. On the Runcorn section of the Bridgewater canal. This was originally the main line of the canal, linking Manchester and Liverpool via the tidal Mersey at Runcorn.

Buses at Murdishaw Centre
Murdishaw is a major stop on the Runcorn Busway, a dedicated bus only road that serves most of Runcorn new town. Except at bus stops, pedestrians are not permitted on the busway, hence the provision of the footbridge (left background) to allow access to the shops from the houses south of the busway. The two buses seen here are operating the busway circular service, which circumnavigates the main part of the busway at frequent intervals. Contrary to appearances, they are running in opposite directions: all buses stop on the same side of the busway here, regardless of direction of travel, with westbound buses using the turning circle to access the bus stop (see Image). Other services that use the busway go further afield; for example there are buses from here to Warrington, Widnes, and Liverpool, among others.

Norton Cottages
Looking across Norton Basin onto the rear elevation of Norton Cottages. At the time of the photo these were the only houses near the basin. Since then the area has experienced massive redevelopment as more recent photos here will show.
In the immediate foreground is the stern of 'Symbol' - originally a Shropshire Union Railway's & Canal Company horsedrawn 'fly' boat & then one of the few remaining examples. Sadly this historic craft has not survived, a well-meaning restoration plan failed as is described here: http://www.canaljunction.com/mainline/0112.htm

Murdishaw Centre
A view of the small shopping centre at Murdishaw, seen from across the bus turning circle. In addition to functioning as a bus terminus, the turning circle exists to allow buses travelling west to turn east to stop outside the shopping centre, and then turn west again to resume their journeys. Note the fortifications defending the CCTV camera pole in the right foreground.
