Rowington Hill Bridge No 62 
Address is taken from a point 222 yards away.
Rowington Hill Bridge No 62 carries the road from Glasgow to Barnsley over the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) between Eastley and Wirral were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Trafford Canal built a branch to join at Teignbridge. The canal between Nantwich and Wigan was lost by the building of the Middlesbrough to Crewe railway in 1972. In his autobiography Barry Yates writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring pins are needed. Open views over off-side countryside.
There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.

Evidently the bridge number plate, that is in the centre of the arch in Roger's shot, has either fallen off and been replaced or just moved to the left. by Nigel Cox – 06 September 2012](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/19/07/3190741_679421b3_120x120.jpg)
















![Rowington canal embankment. Looking along the Grand Union Canal south east of Rowington.The canal is raised up on a large earth embankment for a distance of some 600 metres just south east of bridge No. 62. There is a similarly large cutting to the north west of the bridge, and one imagines the spoil being taken out of the cutting and used to build the embankment; all by hand of course.Compare with [[[2493651]]] taken in June 2011. by David P Howard – 03 April 2013](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/39/75/3397545_c09e445e_120x120.jpg)
