Description

Davies's Bridge, also known as Canal Bridge No. 118, is a canal accommodation bridge built around 1776 by Samuel Weston for the Chester Canal Company. It is constructed of orange brick, with some repairs in blue brick. The bridge features a segmental arch supported by stone springers and a keyblock, along with a projecting stone band above the arch. The wing walls curve outward and terminate in square pilasters. The parapet is plain, partly repaired, and has a flat stone coping. This bridge represents the standard design for accommodation bridges on this canal.
