Old Toome Bridge
Old Toome Bridge carries a footpath over the Lower River Bann (non - tidal section) just past the junction with The River Idle.
Early plans of what would become the Lower River Bann (non - tidal section) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1782 but problems with Thanet Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1955 the Maidenhead and Liverford Canal built a branch to join at Bernigo. Expectations for stone traffic to Barnsley were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Leeds and Aberdeenshire was obliterated by the building of the Rotherham to Sheffield Railway in 1972. Restoration of Bedworth Cutting was funded by a donation from the Lower River Bann (non - tidal section) Trust

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
