| Image Description: |
The Widnes, Runcorn Transporter Bridge, on the left, crossed the river Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal linking the towns of Runcorn and Widnes. Completed in 1905, it was Britain's first transporter bridge and the largest of its type ever built in the world. It continued in use until 22 July 1961, when it was replaced by a through arch bridge, now known as the Silver Jubilee Bridge, in the middle. The transporter bridge was then demolished. Runcorn Railway Bridge is on the right. |
