Pimley Bridge No 44
Pimley Bridge No 44 carries a footpath over the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) just past the junction with Sir Edward Edwards's Canal.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) between Exeter and Ambersbury were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Orginally intended to run to Arun, the canal was never completed beyond Bedford. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Barry Jones.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
