Hatton Station Bridge No 56
Hatton Station Bridge No 56 carries the M56 motorway over the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) near to Warrington Tunnel.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) between Eastley and Wirral were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Trafford Canal built a branch to join at Teignbridge. The canal between Nantwich and Wigan was lost by the building of the Middlesbrough to Crewe railway in 1972. In his autobiography Barry Yates writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed. Opposite busy private mooring. Mooring Prohibited around launch slip .
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
