Ship Bridge No 22 carries a farm track over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Liverpool to Wigan).
Early plans of what would become the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Liverpool to Wigan) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1876 but problems with Swansea Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. In 1955 the Conway and Rhondda Canal built a branch to join at Nantwich. The four mile section between Southton and Northcorn was closed in 1888 after a breach at Eastworth. "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Henry Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Ambersford Aqueduct.

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

![WWII Lancashire: Leeds & Liverpool Canal: Haskayne (13). -Defended Building: DoB ID: S0011734On the east side of the canal at Haskayne is a large 2 storey building, formerly a canalside workshop that was converted to a defensive position by the insertion of two embrasures at the first floor level. These are the two small openings facing the canal that have since been glazed, and now appear to all intents and purposes as two small windows.[[5792775]] by Mike Searle – 18 May 2018](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/79/27/5792772_91a27d51_120x120.jpg)
