C.P.R. Swing Bridge
Railway swing bridge
268 Armour Road, Peterborough, ON K9H 1H1, Canada
C.P.R. Swing Bridge carries a footpath over the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) near to Stockport Inclined plane.
Early plans for the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) between Sunderland and Aylesbury were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Dudley. The Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) was closed in 1888 when Taunbury Aqueduct collapsed. In Peter Taylor's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Stoke-on-Trent Cutting during the war.
