Dist:0.5km<br/>There are a lot of functional unattractive bridges on the Trent and Mersey Canal in this part of the country. It is an accommodation bridge only leading from field to field, so when bridges built in the 1770s weaken, it is not surprising that the cheapest restoration option is adopted. Painting them white is a big mistake. For a year or so they look smart, then for decades they just look drabber and drabber. Someone did that on the Shropshire Union in the 1980s.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The River Dane meanders through the pastures on the other side of the hedge on the left. This is north of Bridge No 178. The Trent and Mersey Canal is 93·5 miles in length from Derwent Mouth to Preston Brook. The first cut was made by Josiah Wedgwood in July 1766 at Middleport (Stoke-on-Trent). The whole canal was open for business by 1777. James Brindley was the engineer until his death in 1772.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Given the date (1873) I guess it was never a bus stop.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The River Dane seen from the Trent & Mersey Canal towpath, Davenham. Although the Dane parallels the canal for much of the way between Middlewich and Northwich its valley is often well wooded and the towpath walker or canal cruiser will only get glimpses of the river down below the canal in the 'Amazon jungle'. Unfortunately there is no public access to the river valley.
