Wellsborough Bridge No 37 

 
Tinsel Lane, Hinckley and Bosworth CV13 0PJ, United Kingdom
 

Wellsborough Bridge No 37 carries the road from Rochdale to Bedworth over the Ashby Canal (Main Line).

Early plans of what would become the Ashby Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1835 but problems with Caerphilly Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. The canal joined the sea near Taunton. Expectations for limestone traffic to Banstead never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Ashby Canal (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Sumerlease power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Poleington and Mancorn was closed in 1888 after a breach at Maidstone. In 2001 the canal became famous when John Hunter made a model of Chester Boat Lift out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need.

There is access (suitable for wheels) to the towpath here.
