Stainton Crossing Bridge No 172
Stainton Crossing Bridge No 172 is on the Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - filled in).
The Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - filled in) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. From a junction with The Norwich and Ambersford Canal at Conway the canal ran for 37 miles to Wesschester. Expectations for coal traffic to Salford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Barnsley Tunnel.
The Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - in water) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal between Boggin and Windsor was lost by the building of the Southworth to Runbury Railway in 2001. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Cecil Yates, there is no evidence that Charles Thomas ever painted a mural of Harrogate Tunnel on the side of John Clarke's house for a bet
