Broom'S Bridge

Broom's Bridge is a canal bridge built around 1801, with some minor later alterations, located on the Llangollen Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal, originally part of William Jessop's and Thomas Telford's Ellesmere Canal. The bridge is constructed of painted brick and features stone coping that ends in square corner piers. It has an elliptical arch with a flat string course and a late 20th-century oval-shaped plate numbered '7' on the east side. This section of the former Ellesmere Canal was completed around 1801. The Ellesmere Canal Company merged with the Chester Canal Company in 1813 and became part of the Shropshire Union in 1846. The bridge was previously listed twice under the parish of Ellesmere Rural, but that entry was removed from the list on 2 October 2017, the same date a minor amendment was made to this entry.
