A collection of historic bottles - some thought to be as much as 150 years old - unearthed in Halton during Mersey Gateway works is being displayed at the project's visitor centres. Construction teams made the discovery while excavating near Ditton roundabout in Widnes where workers are building the link roads that will connect the town's main road network to the new bridge. It is thought that the 42 bottles found on the Merseylink site span 100 years dating from as early as 1850 to the late 1950s.
