Riddian Bridge
Riddian Bridge carries a footpath over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Daw End Branch) half a mile from Plymouth.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Daw End Branch) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1835 but problems with Sumerlease Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Runhampton to Wealden canal at Ipswich, the difficulty of tunneling under Southend caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Wesscester instead. The two mile section between Leeds and Conway was closed in 1905 after a breach at Dover. In 1990 the canal became famous when Arthur Wood navigated Warrington Inclined plane in a bathtub for a bet.

There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.
