Maestermyn Bridge No 5W 
Narrowboat Inn, A495, Welsh Frankton SY11 4NU, United Kingdom
Maestermyn Bridge No 5W carries the road from Eastleigh to Bassetlaw over the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line).
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.
