Roadside hoarding by A557, Widnes
Roadside hoarding by A557, Widnes
A new hoarding frame no doubt ready to announce an impending retail development [on the former foundry site on which it stands] to the public passing on the A557 Widnes Eastern by-pass.

In the distance, the Ditton Junction - Warrington Arpley railway bridge which carries coal trains to and from Fiddler's Ferry power station. The by-pass road is along the course of the Widnes - St Helens railway line which would have passed under the Warrington line where the road does today.

The factory in the background [actually just outside the grid square] belongs to Thermphos International B.V. and produces "speciality phosphates" of the highest order.
