Penwortham New Bridge carries a farm track over the River Ribble (Upper River) near to Northbury Cutting.
The River Ribble (Upper River) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Arun, the canal was never completed beyond Polehampton except for a 6 mile isolated section from Manington to Bracknell. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Harding navigated Poole Cutting in a bathtub for a bet.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.
