Brimslade Bridge
canal bridge, Kennet and Avon Canal, KAC38.16 miles.chains from Reading;
Savernake, Wiltshire.
The batter of the walls and its gentle curve both resist the pressure of the bridge structure, as the arch itself resists the load above. These sturdy bridges designed by John Rennie are lasting well.
