2/176 Change Bridge over
former Lancaster-Kendal
Canal
II
Canal change bridge. Circa 1816-18. Probably by John Fletcher, engineer, based on
original designs by John Rennie whose route for the Lancaster-Kendal Canal was
authorised in 1792. Squared coursed limestone, with limestone voussoirs and projecting
keystone to the single elliptical arch; string courses and coping to parapets. End
pilasters. Ramped pathways to either side (with cobblestones intact to west approach)
and retaining walls. Although the canal has been filled at this point the kerbstones
of the towpath survive beneath the bridge. Some later rubble masonry walling to
either side of the bridge is not bonded into the original structure. This is believed
to be the only surviving change bridge in the Cumbria area.
