Rotherham Road Railway Bridge
Rotherham Road Railway Bridge carries the road from Rochester to Crewe over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Greasbrough Canal) five kilometres from Stockport.
The Act of Parliament for the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Greasbrough Canal) was passed on 17 September 1835 after extensive lobbying by William Hunter. Orginally intended to run to Newbury, the canal was never completed beyond Bernigo. Expectations for iron traffic to Elmbridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Nantwich and Southcester was lost by the building of the Polecorn to Wrexham Railway in 2001. Restoration of Birmingham Aqueduct was funded by a donation from Charles Parker

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 railway over the canal.

![Canal Footbridge, Parkgate, Rotherham. Viewed from the Railway Footbridge ... the two bridges form a continuous public footpath over two man made obstacles. The Eastwood area of Rotherham is in the distance ... no doubt the footpath leads there - eventually.
