GREAT HAYWOOD CANAL FOOT BRIDGE 1840’s N52o 47’ 58.6” W2o 0’ 24.4”

This footbridge, perhaps once a carriage way, across the Stafford/Stourport Canal at Great Haywood, is a charming example of the individual iron bridges built across canals by adjacent property owners. This one is perhaps by Joseph Brindley. It has a gothic theme in its railing design, so may date from the Regency period of around 1820. Walk to the canal under the railroad viaduct and cross the stone canal bridge to take the tow path on the other side, turning to your left.
