Kendal
Castle Bridge in Kendal is the first or last on the Lancaster Canal (once owned by the LNWR and then the LMS) depending on your direction of travel. Some guides show it as Bridge 187 but I believe that was the nearby but demolished Gas House Bridge and this is No.188. Cast iron girders on either side of the original stone arch mean the roadway is now about three times its original width. There are similar cast iron additions widening some canal bridges in Lancaster city centre. This view looks south from near the site of Canal Head on 10th September 2021. The course of the disused and drained canal can be followed for five miles from Kendal to Stainton where it joins the watered section. The plans to reopen the closed lengths of this canal are ambitious to say the least.
