The old half way point is clearly marked on the towpath running behind St James's Church, Church Kirk.

I don't know if new signage has gone up to mark the new half way point, but given that the South Dock extension in Liverpool is just under one and a half miles long, then by my calculation that new point is somewhere near where the railway crosses the canal, next to Blythes.

The dock extension doesnt count cause the water in it is actually from the mersey not the l&l proper and its below the last lock of the leeds liverpool on the stanley flight and water doesnt flow uphill:D:D:D
