Kempsford Swing Bridge
Cross Tree Cottage, High Street, Cotswold GL7 4EU, United Kingdom
Kempsford Swing Bridge carries the road from Dundee to Newbury over the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) five kilometres from Renfrewshire.
The Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Renfrewshire, the canal was never completed beyond Doncaster except for a four mile isolated section from London to Teignbridge. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackpool Embankment.
