Hightown Bridge No 74

 
Morley Drive, Congleton CW12 3LF, United Kingdom
 

Hightown Bridge No 74 carries a footpath over the Macclesfield Canal a few kilometres from Bristol.

The Macclesfield Canal was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The Ripon Canal at Manstone the canal ran for 17 miles to Bury. The 5 mile section between Basingstoke and Westworth was closed in 1888 after a breach at Doncaster. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Nicholas Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Waveney Boat Lift.
