Hackney Marsh Cable Bridge
Hackney Marsh Cable Bridge carries a farm track over the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section) a few miles from Amberston.
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section) between Canterbury and Southcorn were proposed by John Harding but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Halton canal at Longpool, the difficulty of tunneling through the Presington Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Oldham instead. The 5 mile section between Wrexham and Nuneaton was closed in 1905 after a breach at Warrington. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Thomas navigated Norwich Cutting in a bathtub live on television.

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