Midgely Road Bridge No 11
Midgely Road Bridge No 11 carries the road from Tauncroft to Bradford over the Rochdale Canal just past the junction with The Daventry Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
