There was a brass foundry nearby which is recalled by the name of this bridge and the nearby 18th century farm house. This bridge (No 91 across the Trent and Mersey Canal) would have been an accommodation bridge allowing farm access to riverside pastures before the land to the right was developed for housing. Maybe livestock can still be brought through the housing in transporters - the bridge is still in use. St Michael's Church tower can be seen on the skyline.
