algy Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I've not been round Preston Brook apart from passing by car. :blink: Well! that was a waste of time, considering Preston Brook is 7.4 miles from Warrington town centre, very disappointed!!!

Dizzy Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Blimey Algy I know travelling around Warrington town centre is hard these days but you can't expect us all to try going via the Bridgewater route instead (although my car would probably float for slightly longer than my other halfs ) I doubt Asp's ship could ever navigate it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Second pic is canal at Preston Brook with bridge on old A56. Never sure where the Bridgewater Canal ends and Trent and Mersey starts at the junction here. I once lost a Car Tresure Hunt connected with Daresbury Church when the organiser, Rev Canon Becket, insisted canal is Bridgewater up to entrance to Tunnel on North side of the Preston Brook bridge and my answer of up to where the canal separates to Runcorn and Moore is T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks for the clarification Algy - guess both the Vicar and me were wrong over the Treasure Hunt query. I have the same pic of Preston Brook A56 bridge and canal on an old post card circa 1905. Is the tunnel end pic at PB or Dutton end ? Do you have the old pic of PB Station and Red Lion pub ? There are mileage markers near ends of the Trent and Mersey - Preston Brook to Shardlow 92(?) and Shardlow to PB. There was a chap from Hatton did several charity walks full length of the Trent and Mersey a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 The sharp thing on the end of a needle ? You could always try with a few up to date pics, I am sure with a bit of cropping you could find a few that would get them all stumped.

I'll have a think about that one Sid, perhaps when I've finished the 'Old Bill' series, probably keep me quiet for a month or so!. By the way there is a blunt end at the opposite end to the sharp thing! :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asp, I wouldn't dare post some of this content, if Flo' lived in Warrington, as I'm sure she'd have my guts for garters, I just hope she never sends her sister round especially if she's as fiery as Cleo. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
