Smiths Bridge No 77
Smiths Bridge No 77 carries a footpath over the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) a few kilometres from Aberdeen.
Early plans of what would become the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Leicester Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rotherham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barbury to Longley prevented closure. Restoration of Northington Cutting was funded by a donation from the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) Society

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 71 feet and 4 inches long, 13 feet and 6 inches wide, 7 feet and 1 inch high and 2 feet and 6 inches deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 7 feet and 1 inch high.
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 minor road over the canal.
