Dist:0.4km<br/>Bridge No 22 across the Caldon Canal is an accommodation Bridge serving the farm north (right) of the canal. The Caldon Branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal opened in 1779. It runs eighteen miles from Etruria in Stoke-on-Trent, where it leaves the Trent and Mersey Canal. It terminates at Froghall about five miles south-east of Cheddleton. The canal has seventeen locks and the 69 metre long very low Froghall Tunnel, unusable by many narrowboats. The canal did originally continue through to Uttoxeter, but the section beyond Froghall was closed by the mid 1840s, much of its course being filled in to construct a railway.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Large numbers of Canada Geese graze by the canal in some grassy areas. I think they are beautiful birds, but their rapid increase in population now means very large flocks can do damage to some agricultural activity, and culls are being made.
