Abstract/Summary
A building record was made of Lift Bridge GN5 immediately prior to its dismantling in October 2004. It was built in 1815 as part of the Grand Union Canal, to enable the farmer whose land it was built on, to continue access with carts to fields otherwise cut off by the new canal. Although the Lift Bridge was renovated in 1914 and the 1960s, several of the original iron fittings are thought to have been reused in the structure.
