Newton Heath Footbridge
Bob Brook Close Footbridge, Manchester M40 1DB, United Kingdom
Newton Heath Footbridge is an notable flight of locks on the Rochdale Canal (Main Line) five kilometres from Leeds.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.
