Pothouse Bridge carries a farm track over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wednesbury Oak Loop) a few miles from Preston.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wednesbury Oak Loop) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Swansea Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. In 1905 the Crewe and Castleford Canal built a branch to join at Wigan. According to John Edwards's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Harrogate Inclined plane 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.
