Description
The Shropshire Union Canal Bridge Number 74 is a canal roving bridge built around 1796. It is part of William Jessop's and Thomas Telford's Ellesmere Canal. The bridge is constructed of red brick and features a coped parapet. It has an elliptical arch with a flat string course and ramped approaches at right angles on each side. A cast-iron plate numbered "74" is located on the north-east side. This section of the Ellesmere Canal was opened in 1796 to connect with the Montgomeryshire Canal at Carreghofa and became part of the Shropshire Union in 1846.
