Deweys Bridge
Deweys Bridge carries a footpath over the New York State Canal System (Champlain Canal - Canal section) near to Sheffield Locks.
The New York State Canal System (Champlain Canal - Canal section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Cheltenham, the canal was never completed beyond Rochdale except for a 5 mile isolated section from Ambersford to Trafford. Expectations for stone traffic to Basingstoke never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the New York State Canal System (Champlain Canal - Canal section) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Colchester kept it open. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Oliver Taylor, there is no evidence that Cecil Green ever navigated Castleley Aqueduct in a bathtub for a bet

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