Kent Road Bridge No 69 
Kent Road Bridge No 69 carries the M3 motorway over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) between Thanet and Manley.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), piling suitable for hooks. Long length of armco between visitor moorings and bridge.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
