Lift Bridge No 15 (Shrewsbury Canal) carries a footpath over the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) near to Oldton.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) between Exeter and Ambersbury were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Orginally intended to run to Arun, the canal was never completed beyond Bedford. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Barry Jones.

![Canal Cottage, Eyton. The rather fine Canal Cottage, which would have been built around 1795 - 1800, at about the time the Shrewsbury and Newport Canal was being constructed through this area of Eyton Moor.

![Eyton upon the Weald Moors: the cemetery. The [[1627283]] stands in such a small churchyard that it is not surprising, even for a village of this size, that other grounds were required.
