Egg Bridge No 119 carries the road from Harrogate to Nantwich over the Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) a few kilometres from Nottingham.
The Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newport to Castlefield canal at Stroud, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Bassetlaw at Oldham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Torquay instead. In Thomas Smith's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Westhampton Boat Lift during the General Strike.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), piling suitable for hooks.
There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.
