Bridge No 28 in Middlewich, Cheshire

The bridge was probably an accommodation bridge for farmers before housing was built on both sides of the canal. It is now used as a footpath and cycle route (Google maps is numbering it R71, but that confuses me).

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 about four hundred metres ahead of this image. By 1845 an amalgam of canals and railways resulted in the formation of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company.
