Description

The Middle Bridge Number 75 is a canal accommodation bridge located on the Trent and Mersey Canal in Colwich. It was built in the late 18th century and is constructed of brick with stone coping. The bridge features a single span with a humped back and a segmental headed arch. It has swept wings that terminate in piers at all four corners. There are stone plaques at the crown on both sides and stone springing stones. A wooden post with a cast iron guard plate is positioned at the corner of the jamb on the north towpath side. Additionally, there is a pipeline attached to the south side, running through the brickwork of the abutments. Minor repairs have been made to parts of the south side and the north side jambs. The Trent and Mersey Canal was built between 1766 and 1777 by James Brindley and Hugh Henshall.
