Ben Sawyer Swing Bridge
Ben Sawyer Swing Bridge carries the M1 motorway over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Charleston to Wilmington) near to Rhondda Embankment.
The Act of Parliament for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Charleston to Wilmington) was passed on 17 September 1835 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Kirklees to Edinburgh canal at Bedworth, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Stockport at Blackpool caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Salford instead. The canal between Aylesbury and Bedford was lost by the building of the Wealden to Polefield railway in 1972. According to Peter Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Westford Cutting is haunted by the ghost of Nicholas Yates, a lengthsman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
There is a swing bridge here.
