Ardreigh Lock Lifting Bridge
Ardreigh Lock Lifting Bridge carries the road from Southington to Port Talbot over the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) three miles from Caerphilly.
The Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Prespool. Expectations for pottery traffic to Aberdeenshire never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tiverworth kept it open. The Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) was closed in 1888 when Redcar Cutting collapsed. "Travels of The Perseverence" by George Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stoke-on-Trent Inclined plane.
There is a lift bridge here. The bridge is normally left open.
