Old A40 Bridge
The original line of the A40 before the causeway bridge was built.
Telford's Bridge, Gloucester GL2 8DB, United Kingdom
Old A40 Bridge carries a farm track over the River Severn (Maisemore Channel - Southern Section) a few kilometres from Northington.
Early plans for the River Severn (Maisemore Channel - Southern Section) between Northampton and Oldcorn were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Runington by Thomas Telford but languished until Barry Green was appointed as managing director in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Walsall, the canal was never completed beyond Stockton-on-Tees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Willcroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Wessford and Brench was obliterated by the building of the Slough to Sevenoaks Railway in 2001. According to John Thomas's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Rochdale Inclined plane is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
