Why does one sign say 'Danger - deep water' when another sign says 'No Diving or Jumping - Shallow Water'?

Sounds a bit daft to me, because it's no more than four foot deep.

[flower]

I would imagine to warn parents and children - the depth is irrelevent surely - a child can drown in only a few inches of water.

I bet it is a long time before it becomes a working marina and who will run it, will it be British Waterways or will it be sold/leased to a private marina company and who actually owns it at the moment, if it belongs to a development company, then who owns the development company :conf (13):

I've been asked to point this out -

New Marina at Bickershaw near Leigh -

the marina is in Lowton, not Bickershaw, and it's in Leigh, not near it.

(sorry but he has a point)

I think the correct address for the site is Plank Lane, Leigh :smile1:

[johnnybgood]

off slag lane .... :big_smile: did you know that the road as you go left over the bridge towards leigh, brings you out at the dover lock in abram ? when i was a kid used to work for old miller that lived down that lane, he was a four o clock milkman in abram, with a white escort van ......:smile1: it was called crankwood .........

Here's a map showing where the houses are going to be built.
The map is from about 3 years ago, when they first started demolishing the 3 pubs that were in the area.

Beltin pics, I think it's lovely there now, I walk there plenty times with my dog :big_smile:

The road will be closed for 13 weeks from 23rd Jan, while repairs are carried out on the bridge.


Plank Lane, Leigh

British Waterways have major bridge repairs which need to be carried in the New Year. To carry out the work will require a road closure.
The dates have now changed from last week to Monday 23rd January 2012 for a period of 13 weeks.
The diversion route is Slag Lane, Church Lane, East Lancashire Road, Atherleigh Way, Twist Lane and Firs Lane.

Well that is going to be be fun, because that is a main route into Leigh :sad1:

[charlie]

Yes Stoo, and it's not that long since that there were road works for months when they were doing it up, why didn't they fix the bridge then.

Yes that is a good point, they could have done the bridge up when they were building the new road and marina :smile1:
