Nutshell Bridge carries the M72 motorway over the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Isolated Navigable Section) near to Barworth Locks.
Early plans for the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Isolated Navigable Section) between Barnsley and Bernigo were proposed by Henry Thomas but languished until James Brindley was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Yates made a model of Rotherham Embankment out of matchsticks.

There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.
