Whittaker's No 1 Bridge (demolished)
Banana path, Bury M26 2TZ, United Kingdom
Whittaker's No 1 Bridge (demolished) carries a footpath over the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Bury Branch).
Early plans for the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Bury Branch) between Wakefield and Maidstone were proposed by Cecil Taylor but languished until Thomas Parker was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal between Canterbury and Rochdale was lost by the building of the Bridgend bypass in 1972. In his autobiography George Yates writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
