Bedford Place Footbridge No L carries a footpath over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Liverpool to Wigan).
Early plans of what would become the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Liverpool to Wigan) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1876 but problems with Swansea Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. In 1955 the Conway and Rhondda Canal built a branch to join at Nantwich. The four mile section between Southton and Northcorn was closed in 1888 after a breach at Eastworth. "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Henry Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Ambersford Aqueduct.

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

![2 Mile milepost alongside the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. This modern replacement Liverpool 2 Mile milepost stands alongside the towpath of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, just south of the Bedford Place footbridge. The post is part of a project to replace missing mileposts along the entire length of the canal. However, although it is a convenient place for it to be located, it is approximately 100 metres north of where the original 2 Mile post stood, which is clearly shown on old maps close to grid reference SJ 3402 9419.

![Bootle Millers Bridge railway station (site), Merseyside. Opened in 1850 by the Liverpool, Crosby & Southport Railway, later part of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, this station closed (along with [[7850122]]) in 1876 when it was replaced by Bootle Oriel Road station, some 250m behind the camera position.View southeast from Millers Bridge. The current railway line is to the left of the greenery but the original lines appear to have run this side of it, where the road to the left of the building now is. The station building was to the east of the lines, and so would have been in the way when the track was quadrupled. No trace of the station appears to survive. by Nigel Thompson – 26 July 2024](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/85/01/7850107_fa08e799_120x120.jpg)
