Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Macclesfield Bridge, Regent's Canal Macclesfield Bridge became known as the 'Blow Up Bridge' after a massive explosion on a barge at 04:55 on 2nd October 1874. Three crew members and a horse were killed in the explosion and the bridge was totally destroyed. Many nearby houses were also destroyed and the sound of the explosion was heard for miles around.
