Description
The Shropshire Union Canal Lockgate Bridge is a hump-backed road bridge built around 1796, with some minor later alterations. 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 that ends in square corner piers. It has an elliptical arch with a projecting keybrick and a string course. 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.
