RUGBY FOOT BRIDGE 1835 at Cathiron Warwickshire SP502 770 N52o 5’ 37.7” W3o 48’ 28.1”
This footbridge is by the Horseley Ironworks who supplied very similar cast iron bridges from a design by Thomas Telford at Braunston, Brinklow, and Newbold on Avon for the improvements being made on the Oxford Canal in the early 1830’s. This charming bridge crosses the junction between the new section of the canal and a by-passed loop of the old line.
To find the bridge, take the B4112 out of Rugby towards Harborough Magna, but turn off at Easenhall Road and then take Cathiron Lane almost to its end at the canal basin.
