Chemistry Bridge 
Chemistry Bridge carries a footpath over the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Whitchurch Branch).
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Whitchurch Branch) were drawn up by Edward Taylor in 1816 but problems with Swansea Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Preston to Teignbridge canal at Blackburn, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Chester at Wesscroft caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Rotherham instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Liverford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Whitchurch Branch) Society.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Moorings between winding hole and end of navigation. Winding before mooring is advised.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

![Bulrushes by Stag Brook, Whitchurch. A narrow corridor from the centre of Whitchurch westwards that once formed the route of the Whitchurch Arm of the Llangollen Branch of the Shropshire Union has been designed the Whitchurch Waterway Country Park and protected from development. Stag Brook winds its way through the corridor; at this point, immediately to the west of the bridge carrying Greenfields Rise (houses on the right), the brook is lined with bulrushes and clumps of celandine. The area forms a habitat for water voles. See also [[1232134]] by Espresso Addict – 31 March 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/23/22/1232275_ceb10c7b_120x120.jpg)
