The modern timber bridge forms part of the network of public footpaths established on the former Codnorpark ironworks, now part of the Erewash Meadows Nature Reserve. The stone bridge carried the towpath over the branch of the canal forming Portland Wharf, originally a transfer point with the tramroad serving collieries to the east of the Erewash valley.
