Canal Bridge

Canal Bridge - Canal Bridge was constructed in 1769. It has no towpath for security reasons to prevent public access. Boats were not allowed to moor inside the basin at night and at dusk a floating beam was locked into position on its North side. A toll house was built against the bridge wall on its North-Eastern side linked to the outhouse on the opposite bank by a swivel bridge
