| source data:- | courtesy of English Heritage "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." |
