To add to previous post here is a photo of Birkenhead Mollington Street's Class 9F 92160 leaving Morpeth Dock with a freight for Warrington on 9th Sept 1966. Note the cattle wagons behind the loco, which will have been shunted round into Morpeth Dock from Shore Road.

I reckon that it's Egerton Bridge at the end of Shore Road. The main Line locos such as the two in the film didn't go over Duke Street or the Four Bridges route due to the curves, but did go over Egerton Bridge ,as this was the access to Morpeth Dock yards from the main line from Chester.If you look carefully you will see that one of the railway wagons carries an advert for the Great Western Railway.
Having been over this bridge once or twice on the footplate of steam locos I can assure you that there were 2 tracks on this bridge.

Still think this looks like Duke Street as there are buildings where near Egerton there is dock water.

I think the 2 locos bit is a bridge test to show the strength of the bridge to the assembled crowd.

You're righ about the neare loco being a GWR type - the cab is the identifying feature, BUT the other loco looks like a London and North Eastern (LNER - ex Great Central) J11 - which fits in with the fact that on the north side of the Great Float there were warehouses and goods yards worked by LNER locos.

I know GWR locos shunted on the far side and continued to until the 1950's as my Great Uncle was an ex-GWR locoman who used to crew a old GWR Pannier tank from Mollington Street, which was used to shunt wagons on the north side of the float - they used to go via the Duke Street bridge to get there...
