Additional information

Hulme's Bridge Ferry is open from May to November, Thursday to Monday from around Noon to 5pm up to September; then Noon to about 3pm there after.
It would need an act of Parliament to close it as the ferry replaced the sort of bridge that was there, and an agreement was made to supply the ferry when the bridge became obsolete.
