Transporter Bridge

Designed by William Henry Hunter and constructed in 1915, the Warrington Transporter Bridge stands 76ft above water, 30ft wide and has a span of 200ft. This privately owned bridge connected the two sides of the Joseph Crosfield & Sons chemical works but was closed in 1964. It is now a grade II* listed building and protected as a scheduled ancient monument. One of only a handful left in existence. Week 5/52: Local Landmarks
