Dubbed Wigan's most photographed bridge , but this time taken from a different perspective . Due to the rampant overgrowth I suspect that even Bear Grills would struggle to attain the photographers viewpoint nowadays. Nice one mate.

Ducks will still be there shivering and sliding about on the ice

It must have been a very hard winter in '96 but for the life of me I can't recall it being so bad the canal froze over, in fact I remember '63 better, as it lasted over 3 months.
