Victoria Street Footbridge No 17b
Address is taken from a point 545 yards away.
Victoria Street Footbridge No 17b carries the road from Erewash to Barhampton over the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Bury Branch) between Eaststone and Wealden.
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

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

![524 on Water Street. Greater Manchester Transport Leyland Atlantean 6782 heads along water Street on route 524 between Bolton and Bury. The road looks very different today as the bingo hall on the right-hand side was demolished and is now a small, landscaped green space (see [[[6573420]]]). The railings on the left have also been removed, leaving a grassed slope to the canal. by David Dixon – February 1982](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/51/43/6514306_7d64c079_120x120.jpg)
