Leadbeater's Bridge No 40 
Windmill Street, Macclesfield SK11 7LB, United Kingdom
Leadbeater's Bridge No 40 carries the road from Oldchester to Oldham over the Macclesfield Canal half a mile from Rochester.
The Macclesfield Canal was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The Ripon Canal at Manstone the canal ran for 17 miles to Bury. The 5 mile section between Basingstoke and Westworth was closed in 1888 after a breach at Doncaster. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Nicholas Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Waveney Boat Lift.
