This weathered bench mark first appears on Swift's bridge in 1893 and disappears from the maps after 1939. The bridge was originally Moss Side Bridge and carried Moss Lane over the Leeds-Liverpool canal. Before 1893 the bridge name changed to Swift's Bridge, and then the lane name was changed to Swift's Lane after 1955. See also Image
