Photograph Notes: Looking north-east towards Jackson's Bridge, no 41. This is a farmer's accommodation bridge with no public right of way on it or across adjacent fields. Work to build the canal from the Coventry Canal to Ashby-de-la-Zouch began in 1794 and the canal was opened fully by 1804. The principle cargoes were coal, limestone, bricks and salt glazed pipes. The Midland Railway bought the canal in 1846 and by 1856 steam tugboats appeared but horse drawn boats were still more usual. From 1944 onwards parts were closed due to subsidence and the canal now ends near Snarestone. Work is in progress there to reopen the navigation back to Moira. The canal never reached its intended destination of Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
