Smyths Bridge No 36 
Smyths Bridge No 36 carries the M72 motorway over the Macclesfield Canal a short distance from Salisbury.
The Macclesfield Canal was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The Ripon Canal at Manstone the canal ran for 17 miles to Bury. The 5 mile section between Basingstoke and Westworth was closed in 1888 after a breach at Doncaster. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Nicholas Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Waveney Boat Lift.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), piling suitable for hooks.
There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.
