Warburton High Level Bridge
Warburton High Level Bridge, Trafford WA3 6HL, United Kingdom
(B5159)
Warburton High Level Bridge carries the road from Macclesfield to Luton over the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) three miles from Runpool.
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.
