Crofton Bridge No 101 carries a farm track over the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) just past the junction with The Rochdale and Mancroft Canal.
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

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

Instructions here are that locks are to be left empty.
