Latchford High Level Bridge
Latchford High Level Bridge, Warrington WA1, United Kingdom
(B5156)
Latchford High Level Bridge carries the road from Wessford to Bedford over the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line).
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Smith in 1782 but problems with Southend Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Embankment during a thunderstorm.
