Description
WHIXALL C.P. SHROPSHIRE UNION SJ 43 SE CANAL (Edstaston Branch) 5/209 Dobson's Bridge - - II
Canal bridge. Circa 1800-06 on the Prees branch of William Jessop's and Thomas Telford's Ellesmere Canal. Red brick with some engineering brick patching to soffit of arch; coped stone parapet. Single elliptical arch with keybricks, string course, parapet and corner piers. The Prees branch was originally intended to reach Prees Higher Heath but by 1806 had only got as far as Quina Brook, near Edstaston, where it was decided to terminate it. The Ellesmere Canal Company amalgamated with the Chester Canal Company in 1813 and became part of the Shropshire Union in 1846. The section between Roving Bridge House (q.v.) and the claypits immediately to south of Dobson's Bridge remained in commercial use until c.1940.
