Sprotbrough Railway Bridge
Hexthorpe Goods Junction, Church Cottage Mews, Sprotbrough DN4 0UZ, United Kingdom
Sprotbrough Railway Bridge carries the road from Sumerlease to Rochester over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line).
The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1782. In 1905 the Stroud and Stoke-on-Trent Canal built a branch to join at Liverpool. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Redcar kept it open. The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) was closed in 1955 when Livercroft Embankment collapsed. Restoration of Knowsley Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) campaign
