DescriptionHigh Bridge near Norbury, Staffordshire - geograph.org.uk - 1390126.jpg
English: High Bridge near Norbury, Staffordshire This strange looking bridge (No 39) is in Grub Street Cutting, and carries the A519 between Newport and Eccleshall. This is yet another of the many cuttings (linked by long embankments) that Thomas Telford engineered in order to build his canal as straight as possible with as few locks as possible, thus allowing working boats the least delay possible as they attempted to combat the growing competition from the railways in the mid 1830s when this canal was opened.
