Here's the elephant in the room as far as any handover to CRT goes. Jim P mentioned it further up the thread. This is the bridge that carries the canal over the River Mersey. The downstream side is cracked, slumping and bellying out! As you can see the crack is being monitored but some of the glass slides have gone missing.
This bridge is a bottleneck as far as the Mersey is concerned. Looking at the debris in the trees on the upstream side on New Years Day the water level was 5 metres plus higher. Huge forces in play.
