Watery Lane Bridge No 1 is an notable flight of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Aylesbury Arm) between Port Talbot and Oldcorn.
The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Aylesbury Arm) was built by Cecil Hunter and opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for manure traffic to York never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Luton power station was enough to keep it open. Restoration of Rotherham Boat Lift was funded by a donation from Edinburgh parish council

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