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.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. There is plenty of space on the Keadby side of the bridge to moor and allow boats to use the bridge.
There is a swing bridge here.
