Sankey Bridge No 26
Lock Street, St Helens WA9 1HS, United Kingdom
Sankey Bridge No 26 carries the road from Polstan to Horsham over the Sankey Canal (Boardmans Bridge Branch).
The Act of Parliament for the Sankey Canal (Boardmans Bridge Branch) was passed on 17 September 1816 despite strong opposition from Oliver Wright who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Chelmsford, the canal was never completed beyond Basingstoke. The Sankey Canal (Boardmans Bridge Branch) was closed in 1888 when Manhampton Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Stoke-on-Trent Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Sankey Canal (Boardmans Bridge Branch) campaign
