  • Narrow channel

    An aerial view captures a wide river mouth merging into an expansive body of water, with sandy shorelines on either side. The water exhibits varying shades of brown and green, likely due to sediment. In the distance, industrial structures and cranes are visible along the shore, contrasting with the natural landscape of the sandy beach. Wispy clouds dot the blue sky, creating a serene atmosphere.

    The River Mersey is between 1 and 3 miles wide, and yet only a narrow channel is safe for ships.

  • New Brighton Groynes

    At one point in Liverpool Bay, there is a 3-way groyne. One arm reaches back to the promenade, one runs parallel to the prom and the other reaches out into the bay. Fascinating structures.
