On the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Leigh Branch). There are several bridges removed on this branch recognised by the narrowing of the canal. Several were swing bridges allowing farmers' access across but much farming land has been lost through the creation of ponds or flashes due to mining subsidence. Hence the bridges were redundant.
