Among the nice photo-locations I get near to where I live are the various canal walks – particularly the Leeds to Liverpool canal and the Sankey canal. This photobook will include quite a few canal views. Today’s photos are among those that I took in April 2021, when I set off one morning to Burscough Bridge – a village North-West of Ormskirk in West Lancashire. There, the Leeds-Liverpool canal flows beneath a bridge carrying the busy A59 from Ormskirk towards Preston. There is a wharf there and a small shopping centre. The village is also close to the Martin-Mere wildlife bird sanctuary.
Today’s featured photo is of a young woman, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings, attending to her online life at Burscough Bridge Wharf.
I did a there-and-back walk from the wharf along the stretch of the canal towards the Ring O’ Bells pub close to a road junction near Parbold. As I walked, I passed narrowboats, factories and fields and beneath bridges. I saw locks, cottages and people. All of these and the colours and birdsong made for a memorable outing. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
That’s all for today from the Leeds-Liverpool Canal

One set of grandparents lived near to here. Your lovely photos helped bring back some happy memories of somewhere I’ve not been for a while.

Thanks for your kind comment. I’m glad the photos brought back good memories. It’s a lovely area, so near to Martin Mere, Parbold and Ormskirk.

They lived in Aughton so Martin Mere and that whole area was a childhood playground. I’ve not been for a little while so a visit soon is needed.
