Leamington Lift Bridge

This bridge is a vertical lift bridge, which, is located close to the end of the Edinburgh Union Canal at the entrance to Lochrin Basin. It was built by Armstrong of Newcastle (of armaments fame) in 1906.

The deck rises in order to let barges and other traffic to pass under.

The bridge fell out of use, probably in the late 1950s and was left derelict. As part of the Millennium re-opening of the Forth & Clyde and Edinburgh Union Canals, the bridge was refurbished.
