Change Bridge

This was the bridge I ran under many times during my running intervals this evening. Afterwards I ran with my phone to make it my blip.

Built in 1819, it is a Grade II listed bridge of the Lancaster Canal. It was restored in 2002 in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee.


The towpath from Lancaster ended beyond this bridge at a wharf and continued north to the canal basin on the opposite side of the canal. The barge horses would be led up the ramp from the towpath, across the bridge and down the ramp on the other side with the towrope still attached to the barge. The bridge is the only one of its type in Cumbria.
