EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to July 1952, capturing the picturesque town of Widnes in Halton, Cheshire. The aerial view showcases two iconic landmarks that have left an indelible mark on the town's history - the Runcorn Railway Bridge and the Widnes Transporter Bridge. The Runcorn Railway Bridge stands tall and proud, spanning across the River Mersey with its elegant arches. A symbol of engineering excellence, it served as a vital link between Widnes and Runcorn, facilitating transportation of goods and people for many years. Adjacent to it is the magnificent Widnes Transporter Bridge, a true marvel of early 20th-century technology. This unique structure allowed vehicles and pedestrians to cross from one side of the river to another by means of a suspended gondola. Its towering presence adds an air of grandeur to this bustling maritime scene. As we gaze upon this historic photograph captured by Aerofilms Ltd. , we are transported back in time when ships would dock at the port and harbor below. The hustle and bustle of maritime activities can almost be felt through this snapshot frozen in time. Thanks to Historic England Archive's preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate these significant landmarks that have shaped Widnes' identity over decades. This print serves as a testament not only to our rich industrial heritage but also as a reminder that progress is built upon foundations laid by those who came before us.
