Bridge 77, Lambert's Lane
Bridge 77 not only carries Lambert's Lane over the Macclesfield Canal but, like Bridge 76 (Image) also allowed the towing horse to change sides without releasing the tow. It is thought that these bridges were installed to allow through traffic to by-pass Congleton Wharf (Image). There was a pair of Swans and a motley collection of waterfowl sharing a patch of unfrozen water.
The Macclesfield Canal was one of the last narrow canals to be built and runs approximately 28 miles from Harding's Wood Junction on the Trent and Mersey Canal, along the edge of the western Pennine hills to Marple Junction on the Peak Forest Canal. It was surveyed by Thomas Telford with construction starting in 1826, with William Crosley doing the engineering. The canal opened in November 1831 having cost a total of £320,000.
