Jeremy Brook Bridge
Coming up ahead, we will pass under the Jeremy Brook Footbridge. This crosses the canal at Pottinger Street and follows a line of former cotton mills. This wrought iron bridge is interesting because of its arched lattice girder design. A nice piece of engineering simply for pedestrians to cross the canal.
