Milepost - Autherley Junction 24 Miles / Nantwich 15 Miles 
Address is taken from a point 570 yards away.
Milepost - Autherley Junction 24 Miles / Nantwich 15 Miles is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line).
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.

![Shropshire Union Canal - High Bridge (No.57) from the south. This very lofty bridge is No.57 on the Shropshire Union Canal. Not too surprisingly it is called High Bridge (a name it shares with the somewat less tall Bridge No.39 -see [[[7167392]]]).This is the middle of three bridges which span the Woodseaves Cutting a few miles south of Market Drayton. It is an 'accommodation bridge' and carries a minor track across the canal.Note that this 'Woodseaves' is close to the canal to the west at this point and should not be confused with another 'Woodseaves' several miles to the southeast.The bridge is EH Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1293703?section=official-list-entrySee also[[[7167472]]][[[7167474]]] by Rob Farrow – 30 April 2022](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/16/74/7167402_07995e82_120x120.jpg)
