Normans Bridge west of Middlewich, Cheshire
Bridge No 26 carries Coalpit Lane across the Shropshire Union Canal. The brickwork looks "raw" so it mayhave been cleaned recently.
The ten mile long Middlewich Branch of the former Chester Canal, with four locks, was opened in 1833, linking the main Chester Canal with the Trent and Mersey Canal. By 1845 an amalgam of canals and railways resulted in the formation of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company.
