Looking back to the railway crossing from Church Street.
The structure on which the widened Church Street now crosses the canal. Originally the road crossed on a swing bridge, with a separate lift bridge alongside to carry trams.
A builders' yard is now on the line of the Sankey Canal north of Church Street, in St Helens.
Beyond the builders' yard, a footpath between the fences runs along the line of the canal.
Corporation Street Bridge. The in-filled section of canal can be seen beyond. The towpath went through a separate arch. These were originally flat beam bridge spans, made into arches during work to re-open stretches of the canal.
The towpath bridge below Corporation Street has been re-furbished and a wooden roller (that protected the brickwork from the rubbing of tow-ropes) has been attached. This is a replica of the original, which was removed for conservation, but is not in the original location.
The section of canal to the north of Corporation Street has been restored.
The base of a former railway swing bridge, just before Standish Street / Pocket Nook.
