Fantastic piece of engineering that needs to be saved as a landmark for the area.

The Warrington Transporter Bridge (or Bank Quay Transporter Bridge) is a structural steel transporter bridge across the River Mersey in Warrington, Cheshire, England. The bridge was constructed circa 1915 to serve the soap works carry goods, via its suspended gondola, over the tidal River Mersey at Warrington. It stands on private land where the river loops through Bank Quay and it was taken out of service circa 1964. NB: The bridge is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building in 1975, and because of its poor condition it is on their Heritage at Risk Register. The bridge is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Very interesting bridge, the only UK rail transporter bridge. Sadly in a bad state of repair and difficult to find unless you have local knowledge.
hidden away in the lever brothers site. though indo believe there is a walking right of way route to go past it.
Tucked away on the banks of the river Mersey behind a soap and chemicals factory, the disused Warrington transporter bridge is so well hidden that not many people even know that it's there. It has been out of use since about 1964 and is in a poor state, yet it is one of only maybe a dozen such structures in the world. It is accessible from a footpath that can be a scramble in places. If you like to see industrial heritage in its raw state, this place is worth a visit; if you prefer attractions with a café and gift shop, this is probably not for you.
