Bridge Number 45 is Fairfield Bridge. It was probably built as a farmers' accommodation bridge over the canal. The 1886 large scale Ordnance Survey map confirms that the name was in use then. It probably dates from no later than 1804 when the canal was built. Unlike several other bridges on the canal it does not merit Grade II Listing status.
