High Level Swing Bridge
Entrance to Sharpness Docks, an area of 20 Acres
Sharpness GL13 9, United Kingdom
High Level Swing Bridge carries a farm track over the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal five kilometres from Bury.
The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal was built by William Jessop and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for limestone traffic to Wycombe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of sea sand from Liverstone to Polstan prevented closure. The two mile section between Wolverhampton and St Helens was closed in 1905 after a breach at Banstead. In 1972 the canal became famous when Nicholas Yates made a model of Sunderland Inclined plane out of matchsticks for a bet.
