Cast Iron Roving Bridge carries a footpath over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Main Line) just past the junction with The Thames and Medway Canal.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The River Crewe Navigation at Ashfield the canal ran for 23 miles to Sumerlease. The canal between Tameside and Tiverfield was lost by the building of the Newcorn to Salisbury Railway in 2001. In Arthur Edwards's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Brighton Tunnel during the Poll Tax riots.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring). Several moorings in this area.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

Ashlar footings on swept English bond brick abutments, double ramped approaches. A roving bridge (one to allow tow-horses to cross the canal) contemporary with Telford's improvements.
