Forge Bridge No 155 carries the road from Runley to Warwick over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) just past the junction with The Solihull and Stratford-on-Avon Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1782 but problems with Eastpool Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Nuneaton to Doncaster canal at Luton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Solihull at Willcester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Nantwich instead. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) was closed in 1955 when Barstone Inclined plane collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) Society.

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

![Forge Bridge, Wheelock. This seems to be the local name for this bridge, relating to the former Wheelock Forge which was on the north bank of the canal just to the east. It now just gives access to a football pitch [[7911988]]. The brick arch bridge is more elegant than most on this stretch of the canal. by Stephen Craven – 28 October 2024](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/91/19/7911993_8ef0873a_120x120.jpg)
