Yew Tree Swing Bridge
Boater-operated swing and lift bridges are a common feature of the canal network but it is unusual to find them on such a relentlessly urban waterway as the Ashton Canal. Nevertheless, this is one of two swing bridges in a short distance as the canal passes through Droylsden.

Ashton Canal, Bridge 14
Yew Tree footbridge and swing bridge are at the end of Buxton Lane. The crossing is named after a nearby pub, now closed (Image]). There was once a "Yew Tree Farm" in the area.
Note: I have seen this bridge referred to as "Grimshaw's Bridge" ( http://www.narrowboatworld.com/index.php/news-flash/4395-bw-pays-p500000-compensation Narrowboat World) but the British Waterways sign next to the bridge names it as "Yew Tree Bridge" (Image]).
