798-1/65/153 Roving bridge over Grand Union Canal
22/07/77 west of Hampstead Road Lock
(Formerly Listed as:
REGENT'S CANAL
Roving Bridge (West of Hampstead
Road Lock))
GV II
Roving bridge. Early/mid C19, restored late C20. Cast-iron
single span skew cross-over bridge originally with
wrought-iron tension stays but now restored with steel tension
cables; decking renewed. Approached on both sides by steep
ramps with granite setts and stone parapets with many rope
markings. The stone and metal approaches to the bridge are
scarred by the tow ropes of barges drawn out of the lock and
under the bridge which takes the towpath back onto the
northern side of the canal. HISTORICAL NOTE: going down hill
the horses could get back onto the towpath by crossing
Hampstead Road Bridge (qv) and entering by the ramp west of
the bridge opposite the lock-keeper's cottage, now the Regents
Canal Information Centre (qv).
