Fisher's Swing Bridge

 
Gathurst WN6 8EU, United Kingdom
 
Information about the place
Fisher's Swing Bridge is a minor waterways place on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Liverpool to Wigan) between Appley Bridge No 42 (Canalside hamlet) (1 mile to the northwest) and Wigan Pier (4 miles and 3 locks to the east).
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Appley Bridge No 42 is Ranicar's Swing Bridge; 2¾ furlongs away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Wigan Pier is Winding Hole below Dean Locks (End of Leigh's Cut and site of former lock to River Douglas); 4¼ furlongs away.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed. This spot is much nearer the railway, so noisier than at Ranicar's. Also, more shaded for those that have solar panels, but still pleasant.

There is a swing bridge here. The bridge is normally left open.
