Ashby Canal: Bridge Number 8
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 11 Jul 2013
Bridge Number 8 is Burton Mill Bridge and was only built to provide access over the canal to and from Burton corn mill on the River Anker. It probably dates from no later than 1804 when the canal was built. Like Image and Image its virtually original condition merits Grade II Listing status. However unlike those two it is constructed of limestone, rather than sandstone, ashlar.
