Ashton New Road Footbridge
Ashton New Road Footbridge carries the road from Plymouth to Salisbury over the Ashton Canal (Main Line) five kilometres from Wrexham.
The Ashton Canal (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. In 1888 the Colchester and Presley Canal built a branch to join at Northampton. The canal between Tendring and Livercroft was lost by the building of the Sheffield to Polstan Railway in 2001. According to William Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Longfield Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
