Bridge No 23 is an accommodation bridge which also carries a farm track and public footpath. The ten mile long Middlewich Branch of the former Chester Canal, with four locks, was opened in 1833, linking the main Chester Canal with the Trent and Mersey Canal. By 1845 an amalgam of canals and railways resulted in the formation of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company.
