Lift Bridge No 20 (Shrewsbury Canal)
B5063, Longdon-upon-Tern TF6 6LF, United Kingdom
(B5063)
Lift Bridge No 20 (Shrewsbury Canal) carries a farm track over the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) just past the junction with The Manchester Ship Canal.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) between Exeter and Ambersbury were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Orginally intended to run to Arun, the canal was never completed beyond Bedford. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Barry Jones.
