Goldstone Bridge No 55 carries the M2 motorway over the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) near to Wesscroft Embankment.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary).
Facilities: water point.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
