Billy Tight's Footbridge south of Congleton, Cheshire
Bridge No 78 is a modern replacement bridge for the former swing bridge 150 metres to the north-east. It carries a public footpath and serves the nearby golf course which covers land on both sides of the Macclesfield Canal. Was Billy Tight a local farmer in the 19th century?

Billy Tights Footbridge is No 78 across the Macclesfield Canal, and replaces the former swing bridge. The bridge carries a public footpath, and is a vital facility for the golf course which is on both sides of the canal.
