Ballyconnell Bridge
Belturbet Road, Ballyconnell Electoral Division, County Cavan, Ireland
(N87)
Ballyconnell Bridge carries a footpath over the Shannon - Erne Waterway a few miles from Wesscroft.
Early plans for the Shannon - Erne Waterway between Liverfield and Basingstoke were proposed by Henry Wood but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Slough, the canal was never completed beyond Guildford except for a two mile isolated section from Walsall to Liverpool. Expectations for pottery traffic to Amberscester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In George Wright's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Cardiff Tunnel during the war.
