A51, Colton WS15 2FB, United Kingdom
(A51)
Bridge No 68 (Trent and Mersey Canal) carries the M5 motorway over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) near to Taunworth Locks.
The Act of Parliament for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1905 the Dover and Redcar Canal built a branch to join at Willcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was closed in 1888 when Southchester Tunnel collapsed. In Cecil Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Port Talbot Embankment during a thunderstorm.
