Bradford-on-Avon Swing Bridge
Willow Maze, Belcombe Road, Bradford-on-Avon, BA15 2HE, United Kingdom
Bradford-on-Avon Swing Bridge carries the M6 motorway over the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) between Oldhampton and Stratford-on-Avon.
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
