Aylesbury Arm: Sloping Brickwork on Bridge No 13
Aylesbury Arm: Sloping Brickwork on Bridge No 13
Why are the bricks of the arch sloping when on most farm bridges on the canal they are sloping? A fuller examination shows that, like Dixon's Gap SP9014 : Aylesbury Arm - Canal Bridge No 2 - Dixon's Gap Bridge, the bridge crosses the canal at an angle – the big difference is that Dixon's Gap bridge carries a road while this one does not. But this was a greenway 200 years ago, between Broughton and Puttenham and so was treated as a road at the time the bridge was built.
See SP8514 : Aylesbury Arm: Canal Bridge No 13 to follow the old track.
