Dunkirk Farm Bridge No 4 carries the M3 motorway over the Peak Forest Canal (Lower).
Early plans of what would become the Peak Forest Canal (Lower) were drawn up by Charles Edwards in 1835 but problems with Eastcester Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. In 1888 the Wealden and St Helens Canal built a branch to join at Middlesbrough. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Stoke-on-Trent never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Huntingdon and Stockton-on-Tees was lost by the building of the Doncaster to Presstone railway in 1990. "A Very Special Boat" by Thomas Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Warwick Tunnel.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed. This is a good mooring for those doing the Cheshire ring ant-clockwise.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
