Royles Bridge No 57 carries a farm track over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) just past the junction with The Pocklington Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1905 the Dover and Redcar Canal built a branch to join at Willcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was closed in 1888 when Southchester Tunnel collapsed. In Cecil Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Port Talbot Embankment during a thunderstorm.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), piling suitable for hooks. Sufficient metal armco piling for one long (70ft) or two smaller (40ft) boats on the Fradley side of the bridge.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
