Hello Darkness

            Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again.

The site of the old Widnes to Runcorn Transporter bridge. The bridge is closed at the moment as they are working on it.

The Widnes–Runcorn Transporter Bridge 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. The transporter bridge was then demolished.
