Sutton Weaver swing bridge on the Weaver Navigation. Completed in 1926 and much neglected and rusty of late. It is now undergoing a major refurbishment.

This swing bridge over the Macclesfield Canal at Kent Green displays a minimalist approach to access. At one time there has been a vehicle width accommodation bridge but the need for that has long since ended. However, some means of crossing has to maintained here as the bridge carries a public footpath. This is not popular with boaters who have to stop to open and, hopefully, close it again.
