Iron Bridge No 79 carries a footpath over the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) just past the junction with The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation.
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

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
