Description
A swing footbridge at the entrance to the disused Rednal Basin on the Montgomery Canal. ->
Photographs taken 13th November 2014. <1>
There is a turn-table bridge (Bridge No. 72a) across the head of the Rednal Basin; the bridge is of steel and is in good condition; the bridge is complete with handrails of 1" iron pipe-work, and there are tramlines set on the decking of the bridge. There were no traces of tramlines in the former yard areas and tow-path on either side of the bridge, although it is possible that they may be buried within the topsoil here.<2>
The phase 2 restoration of the canal was monitored during 1995-1996. A photographic record was made of a number of features in Rednal Basin, including the swing bridge, referred to as Richard's Bridge. <3>
