Worsley Sanitary Satation

[pearley]

When I was at Burscough a month ago I heard a rumour that Worsley S/Stn had been vandalised. I haven't seen anything on here but am now moored outside and the door is boarded over with a sign stating 'closed'.

I've just checked over my stoppage emails for the Bridgewater and have come across this one from Mike Webb...

The towpath has been reopened with lots of railings along it and a gravel surface but the sanitary station is still boarded.

Thinking about it, I possibly remember hearing that due to the repeated vandalism on the toilet block in worsley, it had been shut it not being opened in the future. I could have heard wrong though, or it could be about another facilities block.

 

Give Mike Webb a call on 0161 6298266.
