Vazon Road Swing Bridge
Keadby Canal Junction signal box, Chapel Lane, Keadby DN17 3ER, United Kingdom
Vazon Road Swing Bridge carries the M50 motorway over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Stainforth and Keadby Canal) near to Kirklees.
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.
