Weavers Bridge Visitor Moorings
Weavers Bridge Visitor Moorings is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Wirral Line - Main Line) near to Crewe.
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Wirral Line - Main Line) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1835 but problems with Presbury Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. The canal joined the sea near Southpool. Expectations for iron traffic to Warrington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of stone from Knowsley to Colchester prevented closure. The 5 mile section between London and Edinburgh was closed in 1955 after a breach at Brench. Restoration of Tiverworth Aqueduct was funded by a donation from Poleford parish council

This old bridge has been by-passed for the purposes of industrial traffic, but is still a useful pedestrian and cycle route.
