Whittington Bridge (Coventry Canal)
Whittington WS14 9LJ, United Kingdom
Whittington Bridge (Coventry Canal) carries the road from Lisburn to Portsmouth over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - along route of Coventry Canal) near to Barnsley Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - along route of Coventry Canal) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1782 but problems with Newbury Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for manure traffic to York were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - along route of Coventry Canal) was closed in 1955 when Prescorn Embankment collapsed. According to John Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Blackburn Aqueduct is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
