Description
The Shropshire Union Canal Bridge Number 59 is a canal bridge built around 1830, designed by engineers Thomas Telford and Alexander Easton. It is constructed from coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings. The bridge features a wide elliptical arch made of voussoirs, a coped parapet, and a flat string course. On the towpath side, there are cast iron posts with grooves for holding ropes, which were used by narrow boats. This section of the canal was originally part of the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal, which was authorized by an act in 1826 and opened in 1835. It was later absorbed by the Ellesmere and Chester Canal in 1845 and became part of the Shropshire Union in 1846.
