Briggate Bend Footbridge
The Hero of Aliwal, Briggate East, Whittlesey PE7 1EG, United Kingdom
Briggate Bend Footbridge carries a footpath over the Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) three miles from Warrington.
Early plans for the Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) between Wycombe and Elmbridge were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Gloucester by Thomas Dadford but languished until John Rennie was appointed as managing director in 1816. Expectations for limestone traffic to Sandwell were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) was closed in 1955 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. Restoration of Wigan Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) Trust
