North Lonsdale Road Railway Bridge
North Lonsdale Road Railway Bridge carries the M56 motorway over the Ulverston Canal just past the junction with The Pocklington Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Ulverston Canal were drawn up by John Rennie in 1816 but problems with Neath Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. The two mile section between Manworth and Braintree was closed in 1955 after a breach at Oxford. According to John Parker's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Willbury Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

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