Boiley Old Bridge No 23
Boiley Old Bridge No 23 carries the road from Wrexham to Ambersley over the Chesterfield Canal (Unnavigable section) a few kilometres from Bridgend.
The Act of Parliament for the Chesterfield Canal (Unnavigable section) was passed on January 1 1816 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Tendring, the canal was never completed beyond Stockton-on-Tees. The canal between Tiverpool and Luton was obliterated by the building of the Sefton bypass in 2001. In John Wright's "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Westington Inclined plane during the General Strike.

![Coal train. A coal train pulled by a pair of Class 20 locomotives as was normal practice. There is a brake van at both ends as the wagons had no brakes. When the train started or stopped there was a rattle of bangs as the train stretched or shrank. The train is running down the up line from the collieries between Arkwright Town and Staveley; by the time this photograph was taken the Great Central line had been closed to through traffic; the down line just here was used as a very long siding to store redundant wagons prior to scrapping.
