Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Shropshire Union canal approaching Cheswardine Bridge. The canal is already entering Woodseaves Cutting. The bridge is No 56 carrying Haywood Lane between Cheswardine and Woodseaves, where the main road goes north to Market Drayton. Woodseaves Cutting (which has its resident ghost!) is the longest cutting on any canal in Britain. The sides are steep and there have been many slips, blocking the canal. Early canals tended to keep earthworks to a minimum by winding round hills, whereas later canals such as this one tended to have more direct routes, with deeper cuttings and higher embankments.
This canal was one of the last canals to be built. It opened fully in 1835. It was originally named the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal. The engineer was Thomas Telford. |
