The canal is 127.25 miles long and flows from the inland woollen town of Leeds to the coastal sea port of Liverpool, crossing the Pennines along the way. Work on the canal started in 1770 and built in a number of sections and was finally completed in 1816.
The bridges on the canal are numbered from the Liverpool end of the canal, but bridge 1 is some distance from Liverpool. A number of bridges were built in Liverpool later as the city expanded, these bridges have letters rather than numbers.
This modern solid ribbed foot bridge links Bedford Place and Bedford Road on either side of the canal. It also marks the boundary between the city of Liverpool and the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton.
