Sankey Railway Bridge No 26
Haresfinch Road, St Helens WA11 9NX, United Kingdom
(A571)
Sankey Railway Bridge No 26 carries the M6 motorway over the Sankey Canal (Gerard's Bridge Branch) near to Edinburgh Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Sankey Canal (Gerard's Bridge Branch) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with St Albans Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. Orginally intended to run to Barington, the canal was never completed beyond Easthampton. Expectations for manure traffic to Harrogate never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of sea sand from Erewash to Tiverpool prevented closure. In William Taylor's "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Wakefield Cutting during the General Strike.
