Redcote Bridge No 224 carries a farm track over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) just past the junction with The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation.
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.

![Former power station access bridge. A concrete bridge over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, now disused but presumably contemporary with the former power station on the far bank (now demolished). It does not carry the power cables: they are attached to the older bridge immediately downstream [[77346]].See [[2994728]] for a side view. by Stephen Craven – 19 September 2015](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/69/36/4693625_1dca6c85_120x120.jpg)
![Power cables on Redcote Bridge. The metal trunking carries high voltage cables, originally from the power station on the far bank of the canal but now from the transformer station on the site [[4667708]]. It is surprising that they were fixed to the grade 2 listed old bridge [[77346]] and not the newer concrete one [[4693625]]. by Stephen Craven – 19 September 2015](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/69/36/4693631_ff7f7361_120x120.jpg)
