Looking over the Anderton Boatlift to the Tata owned Brunner Mond chemical works at Winnington. Soda Ash is no longer made here and the plant seems to be concentrating on the production of sodium bicarbonate.

My first damselfly sightings of the year were made today at Anderton Nature Park. Three species were seen including plenty of Large Red Damselflies ( Pyrrhosoma nymphula ).

Flat caps are prominent as 'Spey No.88' passes the Anderton boatlift on the Trent & Mersey Canal with two dodgy characters on the counter. The exhaust from the Bolinder engine provides the obligatory blue haze over proceedings. The paint job is new and thanks to Tony Lewery who came out of retirement to make the old girl look good again. He last painted the Spey in 1976.
