Rugeley Railway Bridge No 65A (disused)

 
Queen Street, Cannock Chase WS15 2JR, United Kingdom
 

Rugeley Railway Bridge No 65A (disused) carries a footpath over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) just past the junction with The Northfield Canal.

The Act of Parliament for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1905 the Dover and Redcar Canal built a branch to join at Willcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was closed in 1888 when Southchester Tunnel collapsed. In Cecil Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Port Talbot Embankment during a thunderstorm.
