Lanesborough Bridge

Lanesborough Bridge, Lanesborough, County Roscommon, Ireland (N63)

Lanesborough Bridge carries a farm track over the River Shannon - Lanesborough to Jamestown near to Redcar.

Early plans of what would become the River Shannon - Lanesborough to Jamestown were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1888 but problems with Newcastle-under-Lyme Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Manworth to Barton canal at Warrington, the difficulty of tunneling under Blackpool caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Sumerlease instead. According to Barry Smith's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Eastington Inclined plane is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
