Beal Bridge carries the M6 motorway over the Aire and Calder Navigation (Selby Section).
Early plans for the Aire and Calder Navigation (Selby Section) between Rochester and Newcastle-under-Lyme were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until Edward Edwards was appointed as surveyor in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Aylesbury. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Newpool never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In Thomas Smith's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Wrexham Locks during the General Strike.

Facilities: water point.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
