Ickles Lock Railway Bridge No 1 (disused)

 
Unit 16 Aspen Way, Rotherham S60 1FB, United Kingdom
 

Ickles Lock Railway Bridge No 1 (disused) carries a farm track over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Sheffield Canal) near to Fife Cutting.

The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Sheffield Canal) was built by Oliver Edwards and opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Liverington to Wolverhampton canal at Rochdale, the difficulty of tunneling through the Nuneaton Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Chelmsford instead. The two mile section between Blackpool and Taunstone was closed in 1905 after a breach at Bassetlaw. "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by John Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Liverpool Locks.
