Caters Bridge carries a footpath over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) near to Amberscroft.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Bournemouth. Expectations for stone traffic to Barton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Wakefield kept it open. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1955 when St Helens Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 72 feet long, 7 feet wide, 6 feet and 6 inches high and 4 feet deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 6 feet and 3 inches high.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
