The bridge is by the Gate Inn public house, hidden behind the trees,and carries only foot and cycleways over the water. This section of the canal from Atherstone to Fazeley was completed in 1790, 19 years after an initial "cash-flow problem" had halted proceedings following the building of the first phase from Coventry in 1771.
