Bridge 13c is Bailey Bridge it was built in 1891 replacing an earlier bridge over the canal; it has had to be supported by the placement of strengthening supports underneath. The canal here has been dry since the breach in 1936 when the towpath and half of the canal were swept into the valley below.
