Broughton Lane Bridge
The bridge carries Broughton Lane across the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal. The canal narrows at several points, always marked by orange warning posts.
My thanks to Karen Eynon for telling me that this is one of seven places where stop plank gates were placed across the Canal during the second World War. They were closed at night and successfully prevented the entire canal being drained by enemy bombing.

Sheffield and Tinsley Canal
The Sheffield and Tinsley Canal was opened in 1814 to carry boats between the navigable River Don at Tinsley and a new basin close to the heart of Sheffield. Before this date, goods had to be carried over poor roads to Tinsley Wharf on the River Don. Link
