Yew Tree footbridge and swing bridge are at the end of Buxton Lane. The crossing is named after a nearby pub, now closed (Image]). There was once a "Yew Tree Farm" in the area. Note: I have seen this bridge referred to as "Grimshaw's Bridge" ( http://www.narrowboatworld.com/index.php/news-flash/4395-bw-pays-p500000-compensation Narrowboat World) but the British Waterways sign next to the bridge names it as "Yew Tree Bridge" (Image]).
