    Exclamation Chisenhale Street Liverpool Built 1802

    Courtesy LRO

    1) A photograph of refuse being tipped on to barges on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Two S.D. bin freighter motor wagons are parked on the far side of the canal. The sides of the wagons are open and dustmen are transferring the refuse from the metal bins on to a barge on the canal.

    2) Chisenhale Street Bridge and Mill in 1802. The bridge shown was still standing in 1906.

    There was a refuse destructor in the next street, Charters Street. Many pics of it are in the LRO, the best one already having been published in Paul Bolgers edwardian A-Z book. It's hard to grasp that housing and industry of that type stood alongside each other so closely.

    The manure wharfs were according to the history books, were just by Sandhills bridge,but according to my elder brother they were at Lightbody St. the book states that the manure was collected by special carts ,loaded on to barges and spread over the farms at Haskayne,Lydiate,and Maghull. There is supposed to be remnants of the wharfs on the canal by Sandhills but I haven`t found them yet.

    This is a possible site.

    Look at the Liver Bird badges on either side of the bridge. I wonder if there were other bridges or other structures that had the same style Liver Bird badge?

    There are Liver bird emblems on the old gaslamps outside the library in William Brown Street but they are not that style and turned the other way i think.

    Does anyone know when the Chisenhale Street bridge was altered to look at it appears in this photo? The painting posted earlier in the thread shows it was originally a smaller stone bridge. An ancestor of mine was found drowned under the bridge in 1870. For an art project I would like to know how it would've appeared then.
