Wiggenhall Bridge
Lynn Road, King's Lynn and West Norfolk PE34 3EU, United Kingdom
Wiggenhall Bridge carries a farm track over the River Great Ouse (Large Tidal Section).
Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (Large Tidal Section) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1888 but problems with Southhampton Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1955 the Elmbridge and Nuneaton Canal built a branch to join at Slough. Expectations for stone traffic to Walsall were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The two mile section between Warrington and Tiverton was closed in 1888 after a breach at Reigate. Restoration of Thurrock Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Great Ouse (Large Tidal Section) campaign
