The Warrington Transporter Bridges

This month our speaker is Margaret Ingham, Chair of the Friends of Warrington Transporter Bridge.  The Friends act as the independent voice of the bridge, which is the only rail transporter bridge in the world.  Also known as Bank Quay Transporter Bridge or Crossfield’s Transporter Bridge crossing the River Mersey, it is constructed of steel with a span of 200 feet (61 metres).  It was commissioned in 1916 and, although it has been out of use since about 1964, it is still standing.  Come along to discover more about this engineering marvel.
