Heritage listing
Ulverston Canal rolling bridge is a disused railway bridge which crosses the Ulverston Canal in Cumbria, England. The railway line opened in 1882 to provide an alternative route around the coast to Barrow-in-Furness, but the line never passed Conishead Priory just south of the canal. Passenger services soon stopped on the branch, though freight trains continued to use it until the 1990s. The bridge is still extant and is now grade II listed; it is believed to be the only example of its type (19th century origin) in England, though a contemporary bridge at Keadby from the 20th century is still in daily use by the railway.
