River Irwell, Kersal, Salford

Submitted by Keith Williamson

Name	River Irwell, Kersal, Salford
Distance	0.14 miles from M7 3PG
Description	This square contains the apex of the meander mentioned in the description for SD8101 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2987 . This view is looking downstream and was taken from SD 821 015. Whilst taking this photo (April 2005) I noticed that the riverbank here was extensively colonised by immature Giant Hogweed. I wouldn't like to go there when the plants get bigger as contact can cause a uv induced rash which can lead to a severe dermatitis. These things can grow up to 5m tall with leaves over 1.5m wide!
