Description
Bridge Number 17 over the canal, located north of Mitchell Fold, is a canal bridge built around 1830 by William Crosley for the Macclesfield Canal Company. It is constructed from hammer-dressed sandstone and features a flat wooden center. The bridge has two stone piers with square pilasters extending away from the canal, and it is topped with chamfered coping at road level and segmental coping above a plain parapet. The edges of the bridge are slotted to support a removable wooden roadway, with the current roadway being a 20th-century replacement. A cobbled ramp leads from the towpath to the north-east corner. Additionally, there is an early 20th-century, diamond-shaped cast-iron sign at one corner that indicates wading restrictions. A similar bridge, known as Bridge No. 14, is located in Poynton.
