GV II
Canal lift bridge. Probably c.1800-06 with later repairs on the
Prees branch of William Jessop's and Thomas Telford's Ellesmere Canal.
Wooden bascule bridge operated by counterweight and chain system.
The Prees branch was originally intended to reach Prees Higher Heath
but by 1806 had only got as far as Quina Brook, near Edstaston, where
it was decided to terminate it. The Ellesmere Canal Company amalgamated
with the Chester Canal Company in 1813 and became part of the Shropshire
Union in 1846. Charles Hadfield, Canals of the West Midlands (3rd
edn. 1985) p.331.
