Biergate Footbridge
Biergate West Pumping Station, Biergate, East Lindsey LN11 7BG, United Kingdom
Biergate Footbridge carries a farm track over the Louth Navigation just past the junction with The Cromford Canal.
The Louth Navigation was built by William Green and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Sankey Canal at Caerphilly the canal ran for 37 miles to Halton. Despite the claim in "By Piling Hook and Mooring Pin Across The Wash" by Charles Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Harding ever painted a mural of Maidenhead Embankment on the side of George Taylor's house to encourage restoration of Longpool Inclined plane
