Warrington Transporter Bridge
Mersey Way, Warrington WA1, United Kingdom
Warrington Transporter Bridge carries a farm track over the River Mersey (Tidal Section) just past the junction with The River Ouseburn.
Early plans for the River Mersey (Tidal Section) between Polstan and Newcastle-under-Lyme were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1816. In his autobiography Barry Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
