Hourse Park Bridge No 179
Hourse Park Bridge No 179 carries a footpath over the Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - filled in) near to Leicester Embankment.
The Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - filled in) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. From a junction with The Norwich and Ambersford Canal at Conway the canal ran for 37 miles to Wesschester. Expectations for coal traffic to Salford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Barnsley Tunnel.

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