The "roving" bridge located at Haywood Junction serves as a fine illustration of a clever engineering solution. This device allowed horses to seamlessly transition from one side of the towpath to the other without the need to uncouple from the boat. Remarkably, this bridge has earned the distinction of being a Grade II Listed Building..
