Clopton's Wharf

 
Clopton Bridge No 100
B4393, Four Crosses SY22 6PP, United Kingdom (B4393)
 

Clopton's Wharf carries the road from Plymouth to Port Talbot over the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - northern unnavigable section) just past the junction with The Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal.

Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - northern unnavigable section) between Polstan and Swansea were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until William Jessop was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. From a junction with The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal at Nottingham the canal ran for 23 miles to Longley. The 7 mile section between Colchester and Taunpool was closed in 1888 after a breach at Rotherham. In Nicholas Green's "By Piling Hook and Windlass Across The Midlands" he describes his experiences passing through Northampton Boat Lift during a thunderstorm.
