His next was the iron bridge over the Severn at Buildwas, which was the third iron bridge ever erected in Great Britain, the first being the Colebrookdale in Shropshire, buDt in the years 1777-9, and the second the Wearmouth,* erected between the years 1793-6. Telford*s bridge over the Severn was erected in 179^, and consisted of a single arch of 130 feet span, formed of five cast iron ribs, and having a rise of only 14 feet ; the width of the platform is 18 feet, and the total weight of iron i...n the bridge about 174 tons ; it was constructed by the Coalbrookdale Iron- masters at a cost of 6,034/. Forty smaller bridges were erected in Shropshire under Telford's direction.
The first great undertaking, upon which Mr. Telford (in conjunc- tion with Mr. Jessop) was engaged, was the EUesmere Canal, a series of navigations intended to unite the Severn, the Dee, and the Mersey, and extending altogether to a length of nearly one hundred and twenty miles. From the date of this engagement, about 1793, Telford directed his attention almost entirely to civil engineering, hi the execution of the immense aqueducts, required on this work, which cross the valleys of the Ceroig or Chirk, and of the Dee, at an elevation of 70 and 120 feet respectively, cast iron was first introduced as a material for forming the water-troughs of the canaJ, * Ori^nally designed by Thomas Paine.
