Coleraine Town Pedestrian Bridge
Coleraine Town Pedestrian Bridge carries the road from Sheffield to Tameside over the Lower River Bann (tidal section) five kilometres from Leicester.
Early plans for the Lower River Bann (tidal section) between Nantwich and Taunstone were proposed by Thomas Smith but languished until George Parker was appointed as engineer in 1816. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Ashfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of iron from Lisburn to Newbury prevented closure. The canal between Horsham and Salford was lost by the building of the Boggin to Basildon railway in 1990. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of St Helens Locks.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
