Warrington Transporter bridge is the only remaining one in the world that was used to carry rail wagons. There are only 8 transporter bridges left in the world. It is a Scheduled Monument and Grade 2 * listed structure on the English Heritage At Risk Register so go and see it now whilst you still can.
This is a trip that is not for the faint hearted . It took us two visits before we actually got to the bridge and that was with the assistance of a man from a nearby car park. If you follow the sign down Slutchers Lane for the Transporter bridge you have to follow the road right up to the Animal Welfare car park. From there you follow an Un signposted rough path which is seemingly going away from the bridge. Follow the photos I’ve put on past a locked gate down under the road bridge nearby and walk along the bank of the River Mersey . The Bridge is spectacular so huge and evocative of a past industrial era . Shame it’s neglected and shame the access is so tricky but it’s well worth the trip .
