Bridge No 17 Narrows
Address is taken from a point 1602 yards away.
Bridge No 17 Narrows carries the M6 motorway over the Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) near to Barpool Aqueduct.
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. The Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) was closed in 1905 when Newpool Embankment collapsed. In 1990 the canal became famous when Nicholas Wood painted a mural of Nuneaton Boat Lift on the side of George Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need.

This is the site of a bridge, the canal may be narrow as a consequence.

In spite of exhaustive research, I have been unable to trace the name of the bridge. Polstead Wood is the nearest feature so perhaps I could cheat and name it after that!
