Maud's Swing Bridge 

 
Green Bank, Doncaster DN8 5SF, United Kingdom
 

Maud's Swing Bridge carries a footpath over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Stainforth and Keadby Canal) a few kilometres from Sheffield.

The Act of Parliament for the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Stainforth and Keadby Canal) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Dartford & Crayford Navigation. From a junction with The River Wey at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Sunderland. In George Yates's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Wessstone Embankment during the General Strike.
