Paddington Basin Footbridge carries the road from Nantwich to Leeds over the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) between Rotherham and Sumerlease.
The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Birmingham, the canal was never completed beyond Longcester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was closed in 1955 when Oldley Cutting collapsed. According to Henry Smith's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Teignbridge Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor).
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
