Cholmondeston Lock Bridge No 5 
Cholmondeston Lock Bridge No 5 carries the road from Sumerlease to Bedford over the Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch).
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. The Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) was closed in 1905 when Newpool Embankment collapsed. In 1990 the canal became famous when Nicholas Wood painted a mural of Nuneaton Boat Lift on the side of George Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Best jetties i've seen.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

![Cholmondeston Bridge [No 5] from Cholmondeston Lock. It makes a lot of sense to build a canal bridge at the tail of a lock - the canal is narrower for a start. by Christine Johnstone – 16 September 2016](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/21/18/5211806_f1224ce2_120x120.jpg)
