Waterways and the Docks
The Cut and Canal
The St Helen’s Canal was a busy thoroughfare, enabling trade and industry to function from West Bank.
The Dock Estate
Both West Bank and Widnes Docks were busy places, they provided many jobs for West Bankers who worked as labourers or on the Dock’s railways.
The Mersey
From fishing and shrimping to sailing, from industry to learning to swim, the Mersey played a big role in the community.
