Bunbury locks, bridge and stables is a complex of canal infrastructure located in Cheshire, England, comprising elements associated with the Shropshire Union Canal. The structures date from the canal's construction period in the late eighteenth century, reflecting the engineering and architectural standards of that era. The site includes lock mechanisms essential to managing water levels along the canal's course, a bridge providing crossing infrastructure, and stabling facilities that would have served the canal transport system and its associated workforce. These elements together represent a significant example of late Georgian canal-age development and the practical support structures required for inland waterway commerce during the industrial period.
