As the number suggests this is a modern bridge built between the original crossings at Numbers 37 and 38. Old Ordnance Survey maps show that St Mary's Road, past the eponymous church and to the north of the canal, was already built by 1889, but it was not until the 1971 map was produced that the bridge is shown as built with the road extended southwards to a new industrial estate.
