Hop Pole Bridge No 59 carries the road from Wakefield to Huntingdon over the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent).
Early plans of what would become the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Leicester Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rotherham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barbury to Longley prevented closure. Restoration of Northington Cutting was funded by a donation from the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) Society

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Paid mooring for patrons at Hop Pole Inn immediately above bridge with a C&RT water point.
