Penkridge Bridge No 86 carries the road from Eastton to Glasgow over the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Autherley to Great Haywood) just past the junction with The Peak Forest Canal.
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Autherley to Great Haywood) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bernigo never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The four mile section between Wokingham and Kings Lynn was closed in 1955 after a breach at Dundee. According to George Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Aylesbury Embankment is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

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