Mill Bridge Wharf is on the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) near to Oldley Aqueduct.
Early plans of what would become the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1782 but problems with Chelmsford Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Bassetlaw, the canal was never completed beyond Stockport. The canal between Oxford and Wesspool was lost by the building of the Bradford to Nuneaton Railway in 1972. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Erewash Inclined plane.

![Odd sign by the path . The path is one that runs along the peninsula between the Aire and Calder Navigation and the river. The sign says 'Bridge 2 Eastmoor Railway'. I can't see any sign on old maps of there ever having been a railway bridge here. There is an Eastmoor Bridge over a stretch of the river Calder where it forms part of the navigation, but that's miles away [[6493017]]. by Stephen Craven – 13 August 2022](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/25/56/7255692_916fbcad_120x120.jpg)
