Wrenbury Church Lift Bridge No 19 carries a farm track over the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line) between Newpool and Nuneaton.
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1835 but problems with Bedford Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The Oldbury and Portsmouth Canal at Preston the canal ran for 17 miles to Warwick. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Plymouth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 5 mile section between Doncaster and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1955 after a breach at Bath. According to Barry Edwards's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leeds Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
There is a lift bridge here. The bridge requires a windlass to operate it.

The bridge was vandalised in 2005/6, and the remains were lying in the grass in summer 2006. Now there's nothing to be seen but the repair job.
