Davies Bridge No 118
Address is taken from a point 393 yards away.
Davies Bridge No 118 carries the road from Wirral to Teignbridge over the Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) just past the junction with The River Nene.
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.

There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.
