![Wappenshall Junction Bridge. The Thomas Telford designed masonry skewed bridge is a scheduled Ancient Monument. The Newport Branch Canal linked the Shrewsbury Canal to the Shropshire Union at Norbury Junction. Between Wappenshall and Shrewsbury the original six foot tub canal was widened to accommodate standard narrowboats. The remainder into Wellington and the coalfields stayed at the narrower width. A wharf and warehouse was constructed at Wappenshall to allow for the transhipment of goods. This is a unique feature on the canal network.The canal was closed to traffic in 1944 but remained in water for some time.
