Prestolee Road Bridge
Prestolee Road Bridge carries a farm track over the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Main Line) between Barcroft and Liverfield.
The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Main Line) was built by Cecil Wright and opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Ashfield. The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Poleton Aqueduct collapsed. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Thomas Thomas, there is no evidence that Henry Edwards ever painted a mural of Newley Embankment on the side of George Taylor's house to encourage restoration of Swansea Inclined plane

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