Summary edit
| Description |
English: Bridge No. 3, the Wendover Arm at Little Tring Completion in 1797, the Wendover Arm links the Grand Union Canal at Bulborne to Wendover. Due to persistent and severe leakage, the Arm was closed to navigation beyond Little Tring in 1897. The aim of the Wendover Arm Trust is to restore the Arm to full navigation, and to that end they have re-opened a short section beyond Little Tring; another isolated section adjacent to the A41 has also been restored. But the first phase of re-opening involved bridge-building. Little Tring Road crossed the course of the canal on an embankment that blocked the canal when its original bridge was demolished in 1973. The embankment was replaced by a new bridge - No. 3, shown here - built to a traditional design and faced with bricks to give it an authentic appearance. The project was funded by the Wendover Arm Trust and completed by British Waterways in 2000/1 at a cost of £223,055.
As this photograph of its brickwork illustrates, this beautifully constructed bridge is a tribute to its builders. |
