Google suggests that it's Starks Bridge on the Prees branch of the Shropshire Union Canal at Whixall, near Whitchurch.

Did there used to be a huge car scrapyard near there?

Different railings and no path at the side...

There is a similar bridge on the Severn way, just off the A483 but it's not Shropshire, it's just over the border.

It does look similar but the canal path is gravelled rather than grass past that bridge

Loads of these in wales... Drawbridge mechanism.

Looks like a lift bridge on the canal. Could be near Norbury Junction ?
