Crossing the Weir

< Next		Gerard’s Bridge Branch		Next >
< New Double Lock Jn			Old Double Locks Jn >

The footpath / cyclepath regains the line of the towpath to the west of Park Road.  A bridge has been constructed over the weir which allows excess water from the remaining canal to flow into the Sankey Brook.  It’s flowing quickly after recent heavy rain but the water level in the canal is still above normal as we will see in the photo’s nearer St Helens.
