Earlstown Viaduct Bridge No 23
Sankey Viaduct, Canal Street, St Helens WA12 9NU, United Kingdom
Earlstown Viaduct Bridge No 23 carries the road from Charnwood to Newport over the Sankey Canal (Main Line) a short distance from Manstone.
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.
