Great Howard Street Bridge
Great Howard Street Bridge is an notable flight of locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Stanley Dock Branch) just past the junction with The Crinan Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Stanley Dock Branch) was passed on January 1 1876 despite strong opposition from George Jones who owned land in the area. In 1888 the Newington and Stockton-on-Tees Canal built a branch to join at Poleton. The canal between Guildford and Manley was obliterated by the building of the M9 Motorway in 1990. Restoration of Peterborough Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Restore the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Stanley Dock Branch) campaign

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 72 feet long and 14 feet wide (the maxium height and draught are unknown), but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 6 feet and 8 inches high.
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.
