Rhysnant Bridge No 101
Address is taken from a point 664 yards away.
Rhysnant Bridge No 101 carries a footpath over the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - northern unnavigable section) just past the junction with Sir George Yates's Canal.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - northern unnavigable section) between Polstan and Swansea were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until William Jessop was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. From a junction with The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal at Nottingham the canal ran for 23 miles to Longley. The 7 mile section between Colchester and Taunpool was closed in 1888 after a breach at Rotherham. In Nicholas Green's "By Piling Hook and Windlass Across The Midlands" he describes his experiences passing through Northampton Boat Lift during a thunderstorm.

There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.

![Montgomery Canal Bridge No.100. This bridge carries Canal Road over the canal. To the left of the bridge is a winding hole, but due to lack of use (the canal is isolated by several dropped bridges) it carries a good growth of water plants.[[SJ2617]] by John Haynes – 30 September 2007](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/photos/57/54/575421_1763f09d_120x120.jpg)
