High Tide On Hale Marsh

The 10th March saw another high tide on the river Mersey, along the shoreline of Hale.  Below we have a number of photographs taken around 13.30 in the afternoon, of the marsh area along Hale Road overlooking Hale Duck Decoy.  In some places along the footpath,, the tide was not far off from seeping over on to the path and the road.

The ancient brook, that runs from Old Hutte-Ramsbrook Lane-Carr Lane and to the stone bridge over Hale Road, was fully flooded, even partly flooding fields being farmed by Philip Lunt and Billy Webb.

Hale Duck Decoy was also surrounded by the high tide over the marsh..
