Scrapped bus near Runcorn Bridge
Visible from The Queensway as you approach the Runcorn Bridge by car travelling toward Chester, this sad old bus always caught my eye so I decided to take a diversion and pay it a visit at the scrap yard.

Runcorn Bridge
Approach viaduct on the Widnes side to the railway bridge over the Mersey. It opened to traffic in 1869 after there was a gap in the network for many years.
At the moment the Mersey is like the Forth - there is a venerable railway bridge, a 1960s road bridge and a three tower modern road bridge under construction.

Runcorn Rail Bridge, Trans Pennine Trail
The Runcorn Railway Bridge, which is also known as the Ethelfleda Bridge or the Britannia Bridge, crosses the River Mersey at Runcorn Gap from Runcorn to Widnes. It was originally built for the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) Company and opened in 1868.
The bridge consists of three wrought iron spans of 305 feet (93 m), each on two sandstone abutments. From the north side of the river the bridge is approached by a viaduct of 49 arches, then a short piece of embankment, followed by 16 more arches. From the south it is approached by a viaduct of 33 arches. On its completion, the bridge was the longest of its time.
The bridge is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building (http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1130418 National Heritage List for England).
Behind the railway bridge is the more recent Silver Jubilee road bridge (Image]), itself a Grade II listed structure, which opened in 1961.

Irwell Street, West Bank
Daubed on a wall near this row of houses was the comment 'West Bank is S**T' (my asterisk). No offence intended but I think I'm inclined to agree. The place was noisy, dirty & in need of demolition - the area could be turned into a riverside park - anything but housing.
