Marbury Woods Footbridge 
Big Wood footbridge, Northwich CW9 6AS, United Kingdom
Marbury Woods Footbridge carries the road from Salisbury to Torquay over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) near to Southend.
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1816 but problems with Polehampton Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Bradford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Longfield power station was enough to keep it open. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) was closed in 1955 when Northampton Embankment collapsed. In Arthur Taylor's "By Mooring Pin and Lump Hammer Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Southampton Inclined plane during the General Strike.
Marbury Woods Footbridge
is a minor waterways place
on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) between
Middlewich Junction (Junction of Trent and Mersey Canal Main Line with Wardle Lock Branch leading to Shropshire Union Middlewich Branch) (9 miles and 1¼ furlongs
and 4 locks
to the southeast) and
Anderton Lift Junction (Trent and Mersey) (1 mile and ½ furlongs
to the west).
The nearest place in the direction of Middlewich Junction is Milepost - Shardlow 84 Miles / Preston Brook 6 Miles;
2 furlongs
away.
The nearest place in the direction of Anderton Lift Junction (Trent and Mersey) is Marbury Hall Bridge No 196;
1 furlong
away.
There is access (suitable for wheels) to the towpath here.
Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring pins are needed. The bank edge is solid and dredged so you can get right up tight, which you need to because it can be a bit of a motorway along this stretch. The bank is wide enough for you to barbecue on it and you've got easy access into Marbury Wooods over the bridge, and also access into the large nature reserve (Dairy House Meadows) from the bank, so lots of places to go to stretch your legs.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
