Details This list entry was subjected to a Minor Enhancement on 27 February 2024 to amend details in the description, add Historical note and reformat the text to current standards SD 58 NW 4/11 HELSINGTON Horse Park Bridge over Lancaster/Kendal Canal II Canal Bridge, 1818, by William Crosley Jr. Local limestone ashlar. Single three-centred arch, slightly arched parapets with overhanging copings and bands. Slots in stonework with remains of iron sluice gates. Canal now dry. Historical note: the canal was completed south from Tewitfield between 1792 and 1797 under the supervision of engineer John Rennie, who provided specifications for bridges, with the abutments battered and waisted. From 1815 Thomas Fletcher supervised progress north from Tewitfield, but only progressed as far as the Hincaster tunnel before William Crosley Jr was appointed in June 1817 to supervise the works from Hincaster to Kendal. Crosley also provided very similar specifications to Rennie’s earlier drawings, but without the distinctive ‘double keystones’ found on Rennie’s bridges. The contract for the bridges was let in 1817.
