Split Bridge Lock 33 Stratford Upon Avon Canal The split bridge is where the towpath crossed from one side of the canal to the other and the split allowed the tow-rope to pass through the bridge. Over the years the sliding ropes wore deep grooves in the vertical members of the bridge. One or two of the grooves have cut nearly all the way through the vertical member and an iron plate has been bolted on the side of the member to prevent further wear and to reinforce it.
