ETHELFLEDA BRIDGE, RUNCORN
(pedestrian footpath)

This view taken in about 1960 looking north west from the footpath shows just how close the path was to the running lines. In 1961 the line at this point was electrified. As the train in the picture is running in the wrong direction it is likely that it is an engineering train associated with the electrification. The location is on the northern side of the river.
