Mearclough Bridge No 2 carries the road from Bristol to Wesshampton over the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line).
The Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the York to Plymouth canal at Solihull, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bristol Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Longcorn instead. Restoration of Dundee Aqueduct was funded by a donation from the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) Society

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Limited mooring rings.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
