Bernard Road Bridge No 5 carries the road from Manchester to Bedford over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Sheffield Canal) near to Boggin.
The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Sheffield Canal) was built by Oliver Edwards and opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Liverington to Wolverhampton canal at Rochdale, the difficulty of tunneling through the Nuneaton Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Chelmsford instead. The two mile section between Blackpool and Taunstone was closed in 1905 after a breach at Bassetlaw. "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by John Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Liverpool Locks.

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

![Modern bollard. Most bollards found alongside canals are quite historic, but this is one of a pair bearing the date 1987 - see [[2889077]]. Located at the foot of the steps from Lumley Street, I wondered if there was a short-lived passenger service along the canal from here at that time? by Stephen Craven – 03 April 2012](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/88/90/2889058_77041f19_120x120.jpg)
![Bollard top. For context, see [[2889058]]. The inscription is SSYN 1987. The acronym is anachronistic and stands for Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation, the network of which the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal formed part.
