SP4093 : Ashby Canal: Site of Bridge Number 18

Ashby Canal: Site of Bridge Number 18
Ashby Canal: Site of Bridge Number 18
This narrowing of the canal is where Bridge Number 18 used to carry a byway from Watling Street to Wykin over it. The bridge was unfortunately demolished just before the canal became a statutory conservation area. Confusingly various editions and scales of the Ordnance Survey mapping, including the version of the 1:50,000 scale mapping currently available to the Geograph site, still show the bridge as extant with rights of way leading up to the non-existent crossing. A short diversion of a couple of a hundred metres northwards to Bridge Number 19 is necessary (unless you are carrying a boat or want to swim across...).
