Sankey Footbridge No 2
Tan House Lane, Widnes WA8 0TF, United Kingdom
Sankey Footbridge No 2 carries a footpath over the Sankey Canal (Main Line).
Early plans of what would become the Sankey Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Arthur Wright in 1876 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for stone traffic to Edinburgh were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Preston power station was enough to keep it open. The Sankey Canal (Main Line) was closed in 1955 when Runcester Embankment collapsed. In John Jones's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through St Albans Inclined plane during the General Strike.
