Ilford Bridge
Ilford Bridge carries a farm track over the River Roding (River Roding Trust section) between Halton and Sandwell.
The River Roding (River Roding Trust section) was built by William Jones and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Oldham to Exeter canal at Bradford, the difficulty of tunneling under Bernigo caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Horsham instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Fife never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Oliver Edwards, there is no evidence that Barry Wright ever swam through Lancaster Embankment in 36 hours live on television

There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.

![River Roding at Ilford. The Roding flows for 50 kms from its source near Stansted Airport to the Thames with its tidal southern section known as Barking Creek. In theory navigable for small boats, the tidal section ends somewhere round here at Ilford Bridge. This looks like low tide just now.The river banks have certainly gone back to nature since this picture from 17 years ago [[361558]] at the same place. by Des Blenkinsopp – 02 April 2024](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/74/14/7741484_71e6b2d6_120x120.jpg)
