Canal Bridge. Circa 1830. Thomas Telford and Alexander Easton, engineers. Limewashed red brick with some blue brick dressings. Elliptical arch: Humped-back shape with chamfered stone string and parapet with square end piers and rounded stone coping. Slightly battered and curved abutments. Cast-iron corner posts on towpath side with grooves caused by rope haulage. Oval cast-iron number plate to south. This stretch of the canal was built as part of the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal (act passed 1826, opened 1835) which was absorbed by the Ellesmere and Chester Canal in 1845 and eventually became part of the Shropshire Union in 1846. The bridge spans the canal below the second lock in the Adderley flight. Charles Hadfield, The Canals of the West Midlands, pp. 183-9.
