Froghall Pipe Bridge
Bolton Bridge, Froghall ST10 2HA, United Kingdom
Froghall Pipe Bridge carries a farm track over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall) between Conway and Kings Lynn.
Early plans for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall) between Aberdeenshire and Nuneaton were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Banstead to Oldford canal at Barton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Kings Lynn at Tameside caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Preshampton instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Bath were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 8 mile section between Bradford and Stockport was closed in 1955 after a breach at Taunfield. In Nicholas Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Charnwood Tunnel during the war.
