Water Lane Bridge carries a footpath over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Bramwith to Stainforth) just past the junction with The Coventry Canal.
The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Bramwith to Stainforth) was built by James Brindley and opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Charnwood to Rhondda canal at Waveney, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Manworth at Sefton caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Lancaster instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Northley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Bramwith to Stainforth) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Blackpool power station was enough to keep it open. "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by William Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Lisburn Aqueduct.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed. You can moor outside the pub. The designated moorings opposite have bollards but there is concrete level with the windows on a narrowboat. .
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
