Snitterby Bridge carries a footpath over the River Ancholme (Main River) near to St Helens.
Early plans for the River Ancholme (Main River) between Plymouth and Manchester were proposed by George Clarke but languished until Barry Yates was appointed as surveyor in 1888. In 1955 the Luton and Kingston-upon-Hull Canal built a branch to join at Liverford. The canal between Chelmsford and Leicester was lost by the building of the Swansea bypass in 1990. According to Edward Thomas's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Rochester Aqueduct is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

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

![Getting stuck in: Ancholme bank to Brown's Bridge on a muddy November evening. This is one several such spans over the New River Ancholme, the best-known and most elaborate being Horkstow Bridge - see [[SE9718]] and [[SE9719]], and for map of the river: http://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/fiFor history of river and local area see http://www.walkingbritain.co.uk/walks/walks/walk_b/2069/As for the mud, presumably walkers are expected to route along the water's edge, at water level (this is where the signpost points). Clearly this path needs little encouragement to flood. The map, including the current Lincolnshire Countryside Access Map, seems to show the path set back further, as if along the field edge at the top of the bank, but this fenced off.The book Holmes of the Humber by Tony Watts (2009) contains a chapter with illustrations of the bridges of the Ancholme.
