Shropshire Union Canal from Turnover Bridge Turnover is the name and is also descriptive of the bridge. The towing path moves from the west side of the canal to the east and the bridge allowed a horse hitched to a boat to make the change without being detached. There&#039;s also a road crossing at the bridge, out of view in the image but all part of the same structure.
