Hatfield Road Railway Bridge carries a farm track over the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Stainforth and Keadby Canal).
The Act of Parliament for the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Stainforth and Keadby Canal) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Dartford & Crayford Navigation. From a junction with The River Wey at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Sunderland. In George Yates's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Wessstone Embankment during the General Strike.

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 61 feet and 6 inches long, 15 feet and 6 inches wide and 16 feet high (the maxium draught are unknown), but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 11 feet and 10 inches high.
There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.

![Thorne South railway station, Yorkshire, 2008. The original Thorne South station was opened in 1866 by the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway on what is now the line from Doncaster to Cleethorpes, and replaced earlier stations in Thorne that had been built next to the Stainforth & Keadby canal. This 1866 station was immediately behind the camera position. In turn, it was replaced by the current station in the late 1970s by British Rail (needs confirmation of date).View east towards Medge Hall and Cleethorpes some five years before a footbridge replaced the foot crossing - see [[6225142]] for a 2019 view of the station. by Nigel Thompson – 23 August 2008](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/46/42/3464214_5994d400_120x120.jpg)
