When the canal was constructed over 200 years ago there would have been a narrow brick bridge at this point. This would have been similar in construction to Image but with a far more pronounced hump, as the surrounding ground at Halton is level. The original bridge has been replaced with a concrete bridge which levels out the road. If the canal is ever to be reopened this bridge will need to be demolished and replaced with a bridge which provides sufficient clearance for narrowboats to pass underneath.
