Milton Bridge No 18

 
True Blue Bridge, Stoke-on-Trent ST2 7ET, United Kingdom
 
Information about the place
Milton Bridge No 18 is a minor waterways place on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall) between Post Bridge No 28 (Footbridge is next to road bridge. Stanley village is one mile south up the hill.) (3 miles and 1¼ furlongs and 6 locks to the northeast) and Ivy House Lift Bridge No 11 (2 miles and 4 furlongs to the southwest).
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Post Bridge No 28 is Downfield Bridge No 19; 2¼ furlongs away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Ivy House Lift Bridge No 11 is Foxley Bridge Narrows No 17 (Site of removed drawbridge, just after the sharp bend travelling east.); 1¾ furlongs away.

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

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is better BEFORE the bridge than AFTER (if heading east). A good place to stop, if only because it is the last good shopping opportunity eastbound.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Milton Bridge

Milton Bridge is a village in Midlothian, Scotland. It is located two miles north of Penicuik on the Glencorse Burn and gets its name from the bridge crossing.

In the 19th century, local paper mills caused the village to grow. Later the British Army established the Glencorse Barracks, still in operation, as a depot for the Royal Scots.

An experimental farm was set up near Milton Bridge in 1924 by the East Scotland College of Agriculture. In 1947 the University of Edinburgh purchased additional farmland for agricultural training.

The village has one primary school, Glencorse Primary. Beeslack High School is nearby. Another village, Auchendinny, lies to the south. The two are separated by Glencorse Golf Course.

The old Glencorse Kirk, located in the grounds of Glencorse House, and local pub the Fishers Tryst are the setting for Robert Louis Stevenson's, (author of Treasure Island), short story "The Body Snatchers", written in 1881 and premiered in The Pall Mall Gazette in 1884. During this time Stevenson was travelling between Scotland and England and frequented the inn which was built in 1824 and torn down in 1954. The rebuilt pub remains and is the main social gathering place in Milton Bridge.

Joseph Bell FRCSE ( 1837 1911) was a Scottish surgeon and lecturer at the medical school of the University of Edinburgh. He is best known as an inspiration for the literary character Sherlock Holmes. Lived and died at Mauricewood House.
