Description


DAWLEY HAMLETS LIGHTMOOR ROAD
SJ 60 NE
Former canal bridge
31/10002
about 130 metres south
of Methodist Chapel
II
Canal bridge. Circa 1790 to early C19. Stretcher bond red brick
round arch on dressed sandstone plinth forming a barrel vaulted
tunnel, about 5 metres long, through bank of spoil. Stone rubble
and slag abutments at either end.
The bridge now has a footpath above, but may have originally
carried a colliery plateway over the line of the Shropshire Union
Canal (completed in circa 1790). The 1882 OS map indicates that
the canal was replaced by a small mineral line. The bridge
probably connected Dawley Parva Colliery to Lightmoor Iron, Brick
and Tile Works.
