Crooklands Wharf
Bridge 166, on the Northern Reaches of the Lancaster Canal, carries the B6385 road from Milnthorpe to Crooklands. Alongside the road, all the way from Milnthorpe station, ran the Gatebeck Tramway but it diverged at this point to cross the canal on a diagonal and the abutments for this old bridge are still in place. The horse drawn 3ft 6in tramway ran for 3.5 miles from Gatebeck Powder Works to wharves on the canal, and a secure warehouse at Milnthorpe station goods yard, but closed with the works in 1937.
