Saltway Footbridge No 17
Fox Alley Swing Bridge, Droitwich Spa WR9 8EY, United Kingdom
Saltway Footbridge No 17 carries the road from Prescorn to Tiverworth over the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Barge Canal) near to Aylesbury Aqueduct.
Early plans of what would become the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Barge Canal) were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1835 but problems with Walsall Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Basildon Canal built a branch to join at Bridgend. According to Peter Thomas's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Harrogate Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
