I believe this 50m length is the only remaining section of the Lancaster Canal between Johnson's Hillock [SD5820] and Walton Summit [SD5824], that still resembles a canal. This southern section of the canal was never linked to the northern section, except by a tramway, due to the expense of crossing the River Ribble. It was finally abandoned when the M61 motorway was built.
