Roving bridge on the former Newport Canal
The whole area around this roving bridge and former lock on the canal was designated in 1968 as a Scheduled (Ancient) Monument, dating from 1835/36. The full details of the designation can be found at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1002952

Plaque recording restoration of section of Newport Canal
This plaque is affixed to the wall of the bridge carrying the nearby road across the canal. The Urban District Council responsible was re-organised out of existence decades ago. Interestingly, the traditional contraction of Shropshire to Salop, was also abandoned around the time the UK joined the European Union in 1973. Nowadays Shrops is the preferred alternative, as the older word causes considerable amusement to French speakers. Anyone with a good French dictionary will be able to see why.

Newport Canal
Seen from the town bridge. The Shrewsbury and Newport Canal (which has been known variously as the Shrewsbury, and as the Newport Canal) connected Shrewsbury with the main line of the Shropshire Union Canal at Norbury Junction. The last link between Wappenshall (near Telford) and Norbury Junction through Newport was only completed in 1835. The Canal was abandoned in 1944. The section within Newport town has recently been restored as an amenity - but obviously not as a navigable waterway.
