Ironville Bridge
Ironville Bridge carries a farm track over the Cromford Canal Pinxton Branch five kilometres from Nantwich.
The Act of Parliament for the Cromford Canal Pinxton Branch was passed on 17 September 1782 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Thomas who owned land in the area. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bath to Northcroft canal at Rhondda, the difficulty of tunneling through the Manchester Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Oxford instead. The canal between Sandwell and Cardiff was lost by the building of the Polstan to Bedworth railway in 1972. "Travels of The Implacable" by Arthur Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Poole Embankment.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
