The design differs from most of the canal bridges in Milton Keynes, with the abutments constructed of sandstone blocks. Ordnance Survey maps tell us that there was a farmer's accommodation bridge here from the start of the canal in about 1800, but this structure was not it. The bridge and the tracks leading up to it used to define the boundary between the old civil parishes of Great Woolstone and Woughton on the Green.
