Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Toll Booth for Transporter Bridge, Widnes This is the redundant sandstone toll booth for the original transporter bridge which crossed the Mersey at this point before the building of the Silver Jubilee Bridge. The transporter bridge opened in 1905 at a cost of £137,663 6s 4d. With a span of 1000 ft and height above high water of 82 ft it took two and a half minutes to cross the river and could carry twelve vehicles and 300 passengers.
It closed on July 22nd 1961 and was demolished a year or so later costing £2,000 more than it cost to build. |
