Cheadle Bridge was built in 1861 across the river Mersey connecting Cheadle in Cheshire with Didsbury in Lancashire.
Nowadays both sides are in the modern county of Greater Manchester and the boundary is between the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport and the City of Manchester.

ReplyDelete"So, is that the same river Gerry and the Pacemakers sang about in Ferry Cross The Mersey? ...back in the 60's."
ReplyDeleteYes it is, although a good 40 miles (as the river flows) upstream.
The photos are nice - makes it look like it's in the countryside, but it's actually in the suburbs of Manchester (although there is a very small sheep farm next to it too).
On the bridge is a very old stone sign saying "L|C". The L is Lancashire and the C is Cheshire, with a separating line.
