Park & meet at Bridge 44 (GR - SJ 9234 871512) on the Macclesfield Canal just before the entrance to Sutton Hall. A ~2 hour run from the scene of the Teggs Nose fell Race start to visit local sights and views in the sunshine.
Bridge 44, Bullocks lane
Bridge 44
Road bridge over canal. 1831. William Crosley, engineer. Roughly coursed and squared Kerridge stone, laid in smaller blocks over string course. Skew bridge with elliptical arch with voussoirs and keystones, string course and parapet with terminal piers.
A voussoir /vuˈswɑːr/ is a wedge-shaped stone, used in building an arch or vault. Although each unit in an arch or vault is a voussoir, two units are of distinct functional importance: the keystone and the springer. The keystone is the center stone or masonry unit at the apex of an arch.
Now you know! We can inspect the voussoirs before and after the run.
