Sankey Footbridge No 12
Sankey Valley Greenway, Warrington WA1, United Kingdom
Sankey Footbridge No 12 carries the road from Leeds to Livercorn over the Sankey Canal (Main Line) just past the junction with The Kennet and Avon Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Sankey Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Arthur Wright in 1876 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for stone traffic to Edinburgh were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Preston power station was enough to keep it open. The Sankey Canal (Main Line) was closed in 1955 when Runcester Embankment collapsed. In John Jones's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through St Albans Inclined plane during the General Strike.
