Northwich Road Swing Bridge
London Road, Warrington WA1, United Kingdom
(A49)
Northwich Road Swing Bridge carries the road from Gateshead to Plymouth over the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) near to Northford Locks.
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Smith in 1782 but problems with Southend Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Embankment during a thunderstorm.
