Mill Hill Bridge No 149 carries a footpath over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) three miles from Horsham.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.

![Mill Hill Bridge. Number 149 on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. This 6 mile stretch is the highest part of the canal at 487 feet above sea level. The farm in the distance is Wood End Farm. A public footpath, part of an extensive network of paths in the area, crosses the canal here and you can see a group of walkers taking a break by the bridge. The canal towpath is also a long distance cycle route. The white building is County Brook Mill, a weaving factory owned by Mitchell Interflex. One of the traditional fabrics they produce is narrow striped fabrics for deck chairs. See [[695067]] for a historic view of the old mill, built in 1712, now used for Sales and Administration. by Kate Jewell – 21 March 2010](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/76/66/1766619_1c1e205f_120x120.jpg)
