Taken on the same morning as 'Mono Mist'. This was an operational swing bridge that was in use untill the early 1960's. As the canal was 'cut' during the 1700's, you may have guessed that the bridge is not the original one! The original swing bridge was located here so that flat bottomed barges with masts could continue their journey to the nearby towns of St.Helens & Wigan. I hope you like it.
