March Barn Bridge is a stone arch bridge that carries a farm track across the Rochdale Canal in Lancashire. The bridge dates to the early nineteenth century and was constructed as part of the infrastructure associated with the canal itself, which was completed in 1804. Built in dressed stone with a single arch span, the bridge exemplifies the functional engineering works characteristic of the canal age. Its survival represents an important element of the Rochdale Canal's historical fabric and demonstrates the integration of transport infrastructure with the wider landscape of industrial Lancashire.
