Narrowboat and Long Lane Bridge in Middlewich, Cheshire
Narrowboat "Willpower" negotiates Bridge No 29 on the Middlewich Branch Canal.
The ten mile long Middlewich Branch of the former Chester Canal, with four locks, was opened in 1833, linking the main Chester Canal at Barbridge with the Trent and Mersey Canal about 500 metres past this bridge. By 1845 an amalgam of canals and railways resulted in the formation of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company.
