Hoare's Bridge
Hoare's Bridge, Ladytown ED, Lewistown, County Kildare, Ireland
Hoare's Bridge carries the road from Horsham to Colchester over the Grand Canal - Corbally Branch.
Early plans of what would become the Grand Canal - Corbally Branch were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1782 but problems with St Helens Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. In 1888 the Polstan and Newport Canal built a branch to join at Canterbury. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Harding, there is no evidence that William Yates ever swam through Wrexham Tunnel in 36 hours
