Fiddler's Ferry meets United Utilities

Now it's not the greatest of photographs but I rather liked the idea of the site photograph on the sign with the real thing in the background. I have collected several such images of Chinese industrial sites without difficulty over the past few years.

So there I was stood at the side of the public road when I was accosted by two security men from a cabin at the entrance to the United Utilities Mersey Valley Processing Centre on the right. Apparently they were of the view that photography was forbidden and, indeed, illegal. This was an interesting attitude as I was in a public place and there is no law that I know of that forbids photography of United Utilities signs. When I explained that for this reason I would not stop taking photographs they went off to call for the police. I never saw any police and assume that security were either bluffing or were told not to be so daft.
