SD45NE BROKEN BACK LANE
1685-1/2/23 Carr Lane Bridge (No.93), (that part
30/11/70 in Lancaster District)
(Formerly Listed as:
CANAL BRIDGES
Carr Lane Bridge (No. 93))
II
Also known as: Broken-Back Bridge BROKEN BACK LANE.
Public road bridge over the Deep Cutting of the Lancaster
Canal, which was opened in 1797. Probably by John Rennie
(engineer). Coursed squared sandstone. Concave in plan, with
slightly battered abutments. Semi-elliptical arch with triple
keystone. The band (which indicates the original road level)
falls towards the centre of the bridge and gives the
impression that the arch has broken. The road surface has been
raised and the parapets, with rounded copings and rectangular
terminals, have been rebuilt and have been pierced at the
centre with railings, presumably facilitating drainage of the
roadway. The bridge has long been known as Broken-Back Bridge
and must have given its nickname to the lane (originally Carr
Lane) which it carries over the canal.
Part of this bridge is in Thurnham CP.
