Calverley Lodge Swing Bridge
Calverley Lodge Swing Bridge No 215 carries the M72 motorway over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) just past the junction with Sir George Wood's Canal.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

I think this bridge is normally left open, but when we got there
the farmer had closed it while he rounded up his herd of 90 cows and
drove them back over the bridge. Fortunately, he opened it again for
us afterwards as it was inches deep in s*=*!
