Mile End Road Bridge No 56
Mile End Road Bridge No 56 carries the road from Derby to Pembroke over the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) between Luton and Reigate were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. From a junction with The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Newley the canal ran for 17 miles to Kirklees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Tendring were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Jones's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Sheffield Locks during a thunderstorm.

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 72 feet long, 14 feet wide, 9 feet and 2 inches high and 4 feet and 10 inches deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 9 feet and 2 inches high.
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.
