Double Bridge at lock No 66
GV
II
Accommodation bridge, south arch, circa 1775 by James Brindley, Engineer, north arch with the duplication of locks circa 1830, Thomas Telford, Consultant. This bridge gives access to Lock House from Cottons Lane and afforded the Lock Keeper access to double locks numbered 65 and 66. Blue and red bricks and stonework. The earlier south arch is segmental and wholly of brickwork, but there are blocks of stone set on end as rubbing blocks between tow path and springing line. The north arch is almost elliptical and has rusticated stone dressing to the vertical and arched sections of the opening. This bridge has a projecting, level, carriageway band sitting on the crown of the arch. Both arches are surmounted by single unmarked stone block midway between extrados and parapet coping. Rounded stone coping to level parapet wall and four way rounded caps to the piers at the ends of the curved approach walls.
The extended low level cutwater between the arches is part of the island between the two parallel locks.
