Runcorn - An Industrial Town Along The Manchester Ship Canal

 

Runcorn is one of our ports along the Manchester Ship Canal.  It's a small town with a little bit of everything... shops, bar, takeaways and a park with a nice view of the famous Runcorn's Silver Jubilee Bridge, which crosses the river Mersey.

The church at my back is the All Saints Parish Church, an Angelican church located at the center of the town.  As most of the people living in Runcorn declare themeselves as Christian, there are a dozen other churches in the town.

Eastham - An Old English Village

Eastham is an old English village located near the Manchester Ship's Canal.  It was around nine o'clock in the morning when we (I was with a friend... the one taking the pictures, hehe!) went biking to the village to buy top-ups for my mobile phone and internet connection, as well as top-up vouchers for the rest of the crew on board.  As you can see on the photos, it still very autumn here with leaves falling down from the trees everywhere, but with winter just around the corner, it was a bit cold.  Were lucky to have the chance to go around that morning even for just a short while 'coz by the time we went back to the ship, the rain started to pour... hmmm... British weather.
