Join Archaeologist & Historian James Balme as he pays a visit to the River Mersey at Woolston near Warrington to take a look at the river today and how it has provided a natural boundary for many thousands of years.
James takes a look at the Thelwall viaduct built to carry traffic along the busy M6 motorway and an important crossing of the Mersey for millions of vehicles every year.
James also takes a look at Woolston Weir and explains how the river has become a haven for wildlife over the past 20 years or so. The river is now clean and supports a multitude of fish species including salmon who swim upstream every year to spawn ..... Enjoy panoramic views of the river in this delightful film shot in early spring 2009.
