Appley Bridge No 42
Canalside hamlet
Appley Lane North, Appley Bridge WN6 9AN, United Kingdom
Early plans of what would become the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Liverpool to Wigan) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1876 but problems with Swansea Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. In 1955 the Conway and Rhondda Canal built a branch to join at Nantwich. The four mile section between Southton and Northcorn was closed in 1888 after a breach at Eastworth. "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Henry Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Ambersford Aqueduct.
Appley Bridge No 42
is a major waterways place
on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Liverpool to Wigan) between
Appley Locks (eastern entrance) (Eastern entrance to old two lock route) (2¼ furlongs
to the west) and
Wigan Pier (5 miles
and 3 locks
to the southeast).
The nearest place in the direction of Wigan Pier is Appley Bridge Winding Hole;
1 furlong
away.
This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 72 feet long, 14 feet and 11 inches wide, 8 feet and 4 inches high and 4 feet and 3 inches deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 8 feet and 5 inches high.
There may be access to the towpath here.
Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary).
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
