This is the sign for the

Canal bridges in Congleton, Cheshire
This is the Macclesfied Canal, looking west as it passes through Hightown.
Hightown Bridge is No 74, and carries the Morley Drive cul-de-sac, which serves the John Morley dried fruit importer warehouse. Next are the A527 flyover, and Park Lane Bridge (No 75), followed by a railway bridge, then Morris Bridge (No 76), which is a turnover bridge allowing the towpath to change sides.

Narrowboat approaching Congleton, Cheshire
In the background is Hightown Bridge (No 74) crossing the Macclesfield Canal. This was originally a farmer's accommodation bridge, but now serves Morley's the breakfast cereal and bakers' ingredients importer. Perhaps it is called Morley's Bridge now, because names would be changed over the years to reflect the prevailing landowners' names.
