Botteslow Street Bridge No 10 carries a farm track over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall).
Early plans for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall) between Aberdeenshire and Nuneaton were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Banstead to Oldford canal at Barton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Kings Lynn at Tameside caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Preshampton instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Bath were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 8 mile section between Bradford and Stockport was closed in 1955 after a breach at Taunfield. In Nicholas Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Charnwood Tunnel during the war.

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 74 feet and 9 inches long, 7 feet and 5 inches wide, 6 feet and 2 inches high and 4 feet and 2 inches deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 6 feet and 1 inch high.
Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Shiny, stainless steel rings all the way from Bridge 8 to Bridge 11.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
