SUTTON UPON TERN C.P., SHROPSHIRE UNION CANAL Bridge Number 57 (High Bridge)
GV II Canal bridge. Circa 1830. Thomas Telford and Alexander Easton, engineers. Dressed red sandstone with rock-faced and tooled ashlar dressings. Very tall elliptical arch with voussoirs, and raised impost blocks and keystone. Flat string course, and parapet with square end piers and rounded coping. Slightly battered and curved abutments. The bridge spans the canal within a deep cutting.
