Anchor Pit Bridge No 9 carries the M3 motorway over the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line).
The Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1888. According to Edward Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Canterbury Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 57 feet and 6 inches long, 14 feet wide, 8 feet and 7 inches high and 4 feet and 11 inches deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 8 feet and 7 inches high.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
