Burn Bridge carries the M50 motorway over the Aire and Calder Navigation (Selby Section) near to Manfield.
Early plans for the Aire and Calder Navigation (Selby Section) between Rochester and Newcastle-under-Lyme were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until Edward Edwards was appointed as surveyor in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Aylesbury. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Newpool never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In Thomas Smith's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Wrexham Locks during the General Strike.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Mooring is against a wooden pontoon. A bit of traffic noise, but quiet enough at night.
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.

A great, great pub ten minutes walk away. Good footpath, but only partial street lights so take a torch. And don't forget the excellent pub.
