Plants Bridge No 34, is an arch, stone farmers accommodation bridge located on the Caldon Canal. This bridge is also used as a public footpath. The number 34 refers to it being the 34th bridge from the junction of the Trent and Mersey Canal.

The Caldon Branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal was built between Etruria and Froghall in 1776 at a cost of £23,560 and opened in 1779. It was built specifically to carry limestone from the quarries at Cauldon Low, near Froghall to Stoke on Trent.
In 1797 a secondary branch was built from Hazlehurst Locks to Leek. By 1811 a further extension from Froghall led to Uttoxeter, a further 13 miles, but only lasted until 1845. By 1849 a railway had been built, some of the track using the former canal bed. (visit link)
