New Crane Street Bridge No 127 is an notable flight of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Dee Branch) a few miles from Tivercroft.
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Dee Branch) was passed on 17 September 1782 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Thomas who owned land in the area. From a junction with The Grand Western Canal at Maidenhead the canal ran for 23 miles to Thurrock. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Barry Green, there is no evidence that John Harding ever swam through Derby Aqueduct in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Taunworth Inclined plane

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