Macclesfield Canal near Hightown, Congleton
This is at Morris Bridge, No 76. It is a turnover bridge (roving bridge), cunningly designed to allow the horses to cross from one side of the canal to the other without being unhiyched from their boats.

Bridge 76, Morris Bridge
Now carrying a footpath over the Macclesfield Canal, Bridge 76 was originally built to allow the horses towing the narrowboats to cross from one side to another without having to release the tow rope (Image).
The Macclesfield Canal was one of the last narrow canals to be built and runs approximately 28 miles from Harding's Wood Junction on the Trent and Mersey Canal, along the edge of the western Pennine hills to Marple Junction on the Peak Forest Canal. It was surveyed by Thomas Telford with construction starting in 1826, with William Crosley doing the engineering. The canal opened in November 1831 having cost a total of £320,000.

Moorings at Congleton, Cheshire
Looking through the arch of Morris Bridge No 76 across the Macclesfield Canal, there are still two public houses nearby, so visitor moorings are well used despite being in a rather gloomy cutting.
