Thorne Swing Bridge carries a footpath over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Stainforth and Keadby Canal) near to Stafford Cutting.
The Act of Parliament for the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Stainforth and Keadby Canal) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Dartford & Crayford Navigation. From a junction with The River Wey at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Sunderland. In George Yates's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Wessstone Embankment during the General Strike.
