Railway Bridge No 132
Address is taken from a point 414 yards away.
Railway Bridge No 132 carries the M56 motorway over the Shropshire Union Canal (Wirral Line - Main Line) between Taunchester and Livercorn.
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Wirral Line - Main Line) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1835 but problems with Presbury Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. The canal joined the sea near Southpool. Expectations for iron traffic to Warrington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of stone from Knowsley to Colchester prevented closure. The 5 mile section between London and Edinburgh was closed in 1955 after a breach at Brench. Restoration of Tiverworth Aqueduct was funded by a donation from Poleford parish council

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
