Summary
Description Bridge 98, Lancaster Canal - geograph.org.uk - 1773863.jpg |
English:
Bridge 98, Lancaster Canal. Basin Bridge, originally linked the canal depot with Aldcliffe Road and carried the
tow-path
across the canal, presumably to keep it clear of the wharves on the north side of the basin. The
roving bridge
design allowed the horses to cross over without untying the tow-rope.
Presumably, the metal "staples" linking the coping stones prevented the tow-rope catching in the mortar between the stones. The bridge now forms part of the Lancaster cycle network. (See 1614603 for a more conventional view.) |
