DaveH Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 no 1 & no 2 Anybody fill in the missing bridges, numbers or names ? Taken in 2006, this is under the bridge nearest the canal Wharf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Can't comment on the names of bridges one and two, but number one is the inner ring road bridge (Cutlers Gate) Number two, rail bridge? Missing is Bernard Road bridge, but Shirland Lane bridge is just visible on a couple of Dunsbyowls photos. Bernard Road Three bridges in one view here, footbridge near Staniforth Road, Supertram Bridge and in the background is Pinfold bridge (Staniforth Road) Shirland Lane bridge has a narrow enclosed bridge running parallel to it, not sure what that would be carrying ? Footbridge near the Arena with Broughton Lane bridge in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 The old brick built Broughton Lane road bridge was demolished sometime in the mid 90's, to make way for the present & more wider bridge. picturesheffield In this photo (taken from the footbridge) it can bee seen where the old bridge once stood, right where the reflection from new bridge is seen.

SteveHB Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Another bridge that can be seen in the background of Dunsbyowl's bridge No 7 photo (Pinfold bridge) Is the footbridge at Spartan Steel, once used to link factories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 The remains from when the S & S.Y.N. was once used by horse drawn barges, 'rope rubbing marks' on bridge corners. As seen on Pinfold and Cadman Street bridge's Rubbing the rope across the hard & abrasive stone must have shortened the towing ropes life span, the reason why 'rubbing plates' were added to the corners of some bridges on the Towpath side The rubbing post/plate on the far side was to prevent bridge damage/ scuffing to barges.

SteveHB Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Between Broughton Lane and Tinsley Flight are the remains of a lift bridge, this would have been used back in the days when factory's ran along both sides of the canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 After leaving Broughton Lane Bridge behind (where the canal Towpath changes over from right to left) The next bridge over the canal is a footbridge that crosses lock number three. A footpath directly to the left of this bridge leads into Meadow Hall Retail Park. Next crossing the pound between locks number three and four is a rail bridge.

Dickdioxide Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Between Broughton Lane and Tinsley Flight are the remains of a lift bridge, this would have been used back in the days when factory's ran along both sides of the canal. This was the railway lift bridge to Tinsley Park Colliery which was on the east side of Shepcote Lane and later the site of Tinsley Park Steel Works.

Thanks Dickdioxide, I've always wondered what the bridge was used for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Below lock number Six. A wide double bridge spans the canal, the first section looks to be a road bridge & the second part an old disused rail bridge, perhaps leading into Tinsley Wire?
