New Lane

I remember New Lane Swing Bridge as a wooden structure, opened by hand, but these days it is a motorised steel affair, with a much higher weight limit for road vehicles. The open bridge also now has traffic light protection, as seen here with a narrow boat passing through travelling towards Liverpool. The road to the left leads down to the station.
