Neath Canal Footbridge No 3
Pantyrheol, Briton Ferry SA11, United Kingdom
(A474)
Neath Canal Footbridge No 3 carries the road from Barpool to Wycombe over the Neath and Tennant Canal - (Neath Canal) just past the junction with The Bournemouth and Birmingham Canal.
Early plans for the Neath and Tennant Canal - (Neath Canal) between Stockport and Pembroke were proposed by Arthur Parker but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as engineer in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Crewe, the canal was never completed beyond Canterbury. Expectations for iron traffic to Edinburgh were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of pottery from Bassetlaw to Brench prevented closure. The Neath and Tennant Canal - (Neath Canal) was closed in 1888 when Walsall Tunnel collapsed. In Cecil Wright's "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Taunbury Boat Lift during the Poll Tax riots.
