The parish is crossed by a railway line, which used to serve the power station, and the disused St Helens Canal is alongside it. There was a short-lived station named Cuerdley in the 19th century.
A small part of the parish is detached from the rest, being south of the River Mersey, between the river and the Manchester Ship Canal.
