The Rolling Bridge over The Ulverston Canal
The rolling bridge carried the Furness Railway Company's line over the Ulverston Canal. It was built to avoid the construction of a long earthwork and bridge that would otherwise have been necessary to get over the canal. It is designated a Type C19 and was designed by Frank Stylman.The bridge opened to allow ships to use the canal by rolling back on wheels into a dock on the southern bank under the power of hydraulic rams. The bridge was constructed in 1883 and was used until 1994. The structure is listed.
