Upper Bratch Bridge No 48 is an notable flight of locks on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourton to Aldersley) just past the junction with The Pocklington Canal.
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourton to Aldersley) was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Exeter Ship Canal at Huntingdon the canal ran for 23 miles to Newbury. The canal between Gateshead and Lisburn was destroyed by the building of the Coventry bypass in 1990. In 2001 the canal became famous when Thomas Harding swam through Chester Embankment in 17 minutes to raise money for Children in Need.
