Halton Lune Hydro The biggest community hydro in England
A new digger has been brought on site to continue excavation through the rock for the fish screen bay, building basement and outfall.
Site work has involved excavation of the old mill race (or leat). Bill Hosfield (a local historian) told us it was filled with high quality stone from local quarries circa 1976. Indeed it was. So the riverside track has been upgraded and we have a large stockpile ready to use as backfill on completion of the build – much cheaper than buying stone in.
Remember it’s a building site and not safe unless you’ve had a site induction, so please keep out. Our apologies for the disruption with the closure of the wooden steps
