Warrington Transporter Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

            Warrington Transporter Bridge (also known as Bank Quay Transporter Bridge or Crosfield's Transporter Bridge) across the River Mersey is a structural steel transporter bridge with a span of 61 metres. It is 9 metres and 23 metres above high water level, with an overall length of 103 metres. 

It was constructed in 1915 and fell into disuse in 1964. It was designed by William Henry Hunter and built by William Arrol and Co. The bridge was constructed to connect the two parts of the large chemical and soap works of Joseph Crosfield and Sons. Originally designed to carry rail vehicles up to 18 tonnes in weight, it was converted for road vehicles in 1940. In 1953 it was further modified to carry loads of up to 30 tonnes.

It was the second of two transporter bridges across the Mersey at Warrington. The first was erected in 1905 slightly to the north of the existing bridge, and was described in The Engineer in 1908. A third transporter bridge over the Mersey was the Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge, built in 1905 and dismantled in 1961.
