Sedgwick Hill Bridge 177 |
The bridge was built in 1818 as an "Accomodation Bridge" linking fields either side of the canal and spanning a change of level from the embankment to the north and downhill slope to the south, which gives it a distinctly asymmetrical sloping look. It is now in private ownership.
