boaters and road traffic - June 18, 2021
By Bob Sanders
Nature’s rivers were identified very early on in our history as routes of least resistance where early travellers could build their towns and roads (later railways too). It is also well known that canals often interacted with navigable rivers. No surprise then that road traffic and boat traffic sometimes have to work together. A good example of this is a lift bridge on the A578 and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.Bob Sanders looks at the Plank Road Swing Bridge, operated by boaters but often causing mayhem for local traffic.

Accessible from the River Mersey and PART of the Sankey Canal and road and Trans Pennine Trail. This time we Go West! That is to say, further west along both the ‘interrupted’ lovely canal and further downstream of the River Mersey.Sankey Canal & Trans Pennine Way:

Welcome everyone, to my second article, and please remember that I'm not a professional writer, although I have been 'published' before and have had my photos published on the BBC (weather) ;-) I'm just a Lancashire lad, more in to having a fireside chat than writing a column or knowing it all!
