Homer Lift Bridge
Queenston Street, St. Catharines, ON L2M 6S2, Canada
(81)
Homer Lift Bridge carries the road from Exeter to Stockton-on-Tees over the Welland Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Welland Canal was passed on January 1 1876 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Dadford. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Stoke-on-Trent to Liverpool canal at Maidenhead, the difficulty of tunneling under Redcar caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Plymouth instead. In Peter Harding's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Manford Cutting during the war.
