Derelict house in Middlewich, Cheshire
A fine detached property on a large plot of land by the canal has become derelict and ravaged by fire. It has now been demolished (October 2011). Outline permission to build six new detached houses was granted in 2009, but whether this is the current plan I know not.

Bridge No 28 in Middlewich, Cheshire
The bridge was probably an accommodation bridge for farmers before housing was built on both sides of the canal. It is now used as a footpath and cycle route (Google maps is numbering it R71, but that confuses me).
The ten mile long Middlewich Branch of the former Chester Canal, with four locks, was opened in 1833, linking the main Chester Canal at Barbridge with the Trent and Mersey about four hundred metres ahead of this image. By 1845 an amalgam of canals and railways resulted in the formation of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company.

Canal bank in Middlewich, Cheshire
Bridge No 28 was probably an accommodation bridge for farmers and a manor before housing was built on both sides of the canal. It is now used as a footpath and cycle route (Google maps is numbering it R71, whatever that means - certainly not the national R71 route further north).
The ten mile long Middlewich Branch of the former Chester Canal, with four locks, was opened in 1833, linking the main Chester Canal at Barbridge with the Trent and Mersey about four hundred metres ahead of this image. By 1845 an amalgam of canals and railways resulted in the formation of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company.
