The bridge half a mile to the north is called Rowndes No 2 Bridge, No 86 on current Macclesfield Canal numbering. Is the narrowing ahead here the site of a former Rowndes No 1 Bridge? The position is not included as No 87, which is allocated to Kent Green Bridge, to the south-west. Late Victorian OS maps show a track leading directly to this spot, but already no bridge.
