- II
Canal lift bridge. Probably c.1800 with later repairs on William
Jessop's and Thomas Telford's Ellesmere Canal. Wooden bascule bridge
operated by counterweight and chain system. The section of the former
Ellesmere Canal between Welsh Frankton and Tilstock Park, on which
Morris' Bridge is situated, was built between 1797 and 1804. 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.
