Looking east along the bottom of the Manchester Ship Canal at the Walton Cutting while under construction. On the left is the pier of the swing bridge, and the curve of the canal is the entrance to the Warrington Dock. Railway lines can be seen, used to tranport soil away from the site, and equipment in.

This is a copy negative of print number 12 from ALB0350, which has the caption:
"Manchester Ship Canal, Length 35 1/2 miles, width on bottom 120 feet, depth of water 28 feet, Walton Cutting, shewing [sic] piers for swing bridge and entrance to Warrington Dock.
