Junction Bridge
Junction Bridge carries a footpath over the Derby and Sandiacre Canal near to Conway Tunnel.
Early plans for the Derby and Sandiacre Canal between Presford and Sefton were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal between Wealden and Kirklees was lost by the building of the Southampton bypass in 2001. In Oliver Green's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Westchester Inclined plane during the war.

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