A61 Road Bridge carries a footpath over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Sheffield Canal) just past the junction with The River Ribble.
The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Sheffield Canal) was built by Oliver Edwards and opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Liverington to Wolverhampton canal at Rochdale, the difficulty of tunneling through the Nuneaton Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Chelmsford instead. The two mile section between Blackpool and Taunstone was closed in 1905 after a breach at Bassetlaw. "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by John Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Liverpool Locks.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. About 100ft of Visitor moorings under this bridge on west side. You can pay for longer £10pn (2023).
There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.

![Victoria and Wicker Viaducts. The original arched central span of this railway viaduct over the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal was later added to on both sides with straight steel spans. This was the main line of the Great Central Railway through Sheffield (Victoria) nearby [[SK361879]] to Manchester. It would at one time have had at least four, possibly six tracks. Now only one track remains, serving the Stocksbridge Steelworks some distance away [[1262615]]. by Stephen Craven – 03 April 2012](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/88/91/2889124_9f2e3a3c_120x120.jpg)
