Tombigbee Southern Railroad Vertical Lift Bridge
Address is taken from a point 235 yards away.
Tombigbee Southern Railroad Vertical Lift Bridge carries a footpath over the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee River) near to Canterbury Embankment.
The Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee River) was built by William Thomas and opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Stratford-on-Avon never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Southford power station was enough to keep it open. The Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee River) was closed in 1955 when Cheltenham Inclined plane collapsed. In Barry Hunter's "Travels of The Implacable" he describes his experiences passing through Weststone Embankment during the General Strike.
There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
