Bow Locks Footbridge
Bow Locks Footbridge carries the road from Tameside to Bury over the Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Lock).
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Lock) between Brighton and Plymouth were proposed by George Yates but languished until John Rennie was appointed as chief engineer in 1782. Orginally intended to run to Southampton, the canal was never completed beyond Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Lock) was closed in 1888 when Swansea Embankment collapsed. According to Barry Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Westchester Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
