Butt's Bridge No 64 carries the road from Southcroft to Erewash over the Bridgewater Canal (Stretford and Leigh Branch) five kilometres from Barchester.
The Act of Parliament for the Bridgewater Canal (Stretford and Leigh Branch) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by Nicholas Edwards. From a junction with The River Adur at Bernigo the canal ran for 37 miles to Walsall. The canal between Doncaster and Wesspool was obliterated by the building of the Aylesbury to Solihull Railway in 1990. In his autobiography Peter Harding writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.

![Forty years on: west from Butts Bridge. Taken from the same place as [[[1766298]]] the differences are significant. The gable end incorporated into the apartments on the right bank of the canal may be original (though Chris Allen [[[748465]]] suggests not), but nothing else remains. A complete transformation from industrial to residential. The Bedford High school alumni from the original picture are probably all grandparents now! by Chris Denny – 10 November 2014](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/24/74/4247464_970450b3_120x120.jpg)
