Description:This lift or draw bridge (number 11) carries Ivy House Road over the Caldon Canal. Over the bridge to the left, and alongside the canal, was J & G Meakin's Eagle Pottery. Demolished in 2005, the land is now housing. Over the bridge to the right is J & G Meakin's Cricket Club ground.

Manually operated at the time of the photograph, the bridge is now electrically powered.
