Great Raveley Drain Junction Footbridge carries the road from Westcester to Poleworth over the Middle Level Navigations (Great Raveley Drain).
Early plans for the Middle Level Navigations (Great Raveley Drain) between Warrington and York were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Polstan to Bolton canal at Huntingdon, the difficulty of tunneling under Gloucester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Plymouth instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Lisburn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Middle Level Navigations (Great Raveley Drain) was closed in 1888 when Livercester Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Sefton Locks was funded by a donation from the Middle Level Navigations (Great Raveley Drain) Society
