Leigh Bridge, Liverpool
From Graces Guide
An attractive cast iron arch bridge in Liverpool.
It carries a footpath (originally Athol Street) over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
Built in 1861.
Ironwork by R. and J. Rankin. Their foundry was alongside the canal, just one third of a mile north of the bridge.
The 1890/1893 25" O.S. map shows the Athol Street bridge, with a hydraulic pumping station immediately to the north west, a gas works immediately south west, and a sugar refinery immediately north west.[1]

Boundary Bridge is 150 yds to the north.
To the south, the canal branches off to Stanley Dock.
