The Lancaster Canal is a canal in the north of England, originally planned to run from Westhoughton in Lancashire to Kendal in south Cumbria (then in Westmorland). The section around the crossing of the River Ribble was never completed, and much of the southern end leased to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, of which it is now generally considered part.

Of the canal north of Preston, only the section from Preston to Tewitfield near Carnforth in Lancashire is currently open to navigation for 42 miles (67.6 km).

This bench mark was used during the First primary levelling, England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 74.8270 feet [22.8073 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Liverpool to Port Carlisle levelling line. The surveyor's description was No. 212. Bolt in North face and towing-path side of Chorley's Bridge; 4.35 ft. above surface.

The mark is in good condition. The details were obtained from this website link
