Description
Bridge number 61 on the Shropshire Union Canal is a canal bridge built in 1829, as indicated by the date on the keystone on the south side. It was designed by engineers Thomas Telford and Alexander Easton. The bridge is constructed of coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a wide elliptical arch with voussoirs and a keystone on the south side. It has a coped parapet and a flat string course. On the towpath side, there are cast iron posts with grooves for holding ropes, which were formerly used on 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 eventually became part of the Shropshire Union Canal in 1846.
