Another view of Springs Branch crane at work on a bridge renewal at Maghull assisted by Allerton's crane. Early 70s.

Hi Stephen, it was a little later than this when I was passed as a driver, Arthur Lewis and Charlie Fisher were the drivers at this time and no doubt, as you say, your dad would probably have been there.

Is this the bridge on ?Park lqane, between Ashworth Hospital and Maghull village?

The bridge is on the border of Maghull and Aintree Switch Island is near by on the right.Old Roan station is about half a back in the distance.
