Aldersley Bridge No 64 carries a farm track over the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Aldersley to Autherley) just past the junction with The Boggin and Slough Canal.
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Aldersley to Autherley) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1876. The canal joined the sea near Halton. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Dover never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Aldersley to Autherley) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of manure from Northampton to Manstone prevented closure. According to John Wood's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Conway Boat Lift is haunted by the ghost of Barry Yates, a navvy, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

There is a bridge here.

![Aldersley Bridge near Oxley, Wolverhampton. This is the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Aldersley Junction.The twenty-one lock flight to Wolverhampton (Birmingham Canal Navigations) is off to the right. The narrowboat appeared to be going that way, but (seemingly) had an abrupt change of plan![[[4404952]]]The bridge without a boat: [[[4404960]]] by Roger D Kidd – 30 August 2010](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/40/49/4404984_afe5bac0_120x120.jpg)

![Footpath archway near Aldersley Junction in Wolverhampton. A public footpath has crossed the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Aldersley Bridge, and continues south-east (not as shown on Ordnance Survey maps currently) to join the towpath of the Birmingham Canal Navigations.Users of Sustrans National Route 81 probably use this short cut rather than the towpaths at Aldersley Junction.[[[7211624]]] by Roger D Kidd – 20 June 2022](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/21/44/7214494_40e16f83_120x120.jpg)

![Path across the canal at Aldersley in Wolverhampton. It looks like an old public footpath between Claregate and Wolverhampton centre crosses the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal here at Aldersley Bridge (No 64), before continuing along the towpath of the Birmingham Canal Navigations.Sustrans National Route 81 (Aberystwyth to Wolverhampton) for cyclists crosses the bridge, and should follow the towpath up the BCN from Aldersley Junction, but I expect most cyclists will follow the footpath short cut. Current OS maps do not show the footpath as it is now.[[[7214494]]] by Roger D Kidd – 20 June 2022](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/21/16/7211624_a7b9d117_120x120.jpg)
