New Bridge opened to replace Long Horse Bridge. Don't expect this to be easy just because it is my first hide, as some may know I have already been involved in a number of hides.
Long Horse Bridge, Derwent mouth carried the towpath at the junction of the Trent and Mersey Canal (from the potteries and NW) and the Trent Navigation downstream (to Trent Lock -junction with the Grand Union route to London - then to Nottingham and NE). It carried the path across the upstream arm of the River Trent, which is navigable to Cavendish Bridge, Shardlow. The bridge was therefore a key feature at one end of James Brindley's Grand Trunk canal as it enabled boats to be towed from the canal onwards down the River Trent. Originally a wooden bridge, the last reconstruction was a concrete bridge erected by the Trent Navigation Company in 1932.
It was demolished in 2003 as it was deemed to be unsafe and originally it was planned to replace the bridge like for like. 8 years later and after a great deal of discussion a new bridge, in a new location, finally opened in November 2011, opening up the Derwent Valley Heritage Way footpath once more linking Sawley Marina and Shardlow.
