Barker Bridge carries a farm track over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) near to Sheffield.
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

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Barker Bridge
Barker Crossing was a pedestrian footbridge in Workington, Cumbria, England which crossed the River Derwent, and linked the north and south sides of the town. Army engineers built it in November 2009 after flooding put the town's bridges out of use, and removed it in February 2011. The bridge was named after police officer Bill Barker, who died when the Northside Bridge in Workington collapsed below him.












![Bridge from before the motorways - Birmingham. This bridge, which carries Lower Loveday Street, is of cast iron and stands over the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. The bridge was Grade 2 listed in 1982. The canal, completed in 1789, runs from Birmingham's Gas Street Basin to Fazeley, which lies just south of Tamworth.

![Bridge from before the motorways again - Birmingham. This bridge, which carries Lower Loveday Street, is of cast iron and stands over the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. The bridge was Grade 2 listed in 1982. The Canal, completed in 1789, runs from Birmingham's Gas Street Basin to Fazeley, which lies just south of Tamworth. The first time I have ever seen boats on this stretch and this was the third one through. The photo, taken from the other side of the bridge to my first, was taken on the day of a Sustrans work party to clear vegetation from the towpath.
