Carters Bridge No 11
Address is taken from a point 501 yards away.
Carters Bridge No 11 carries a footpath over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line).
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

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

![Butterbur revisited. Four months ago the butterbur was in flower by the Oxford Canal at Cater's (or Carter's) Bridge near Ansty [[[7542028]]]. The flower spikes have gone and the rhubarb-like leaves have grown in their place. In time, these will grow much larger, as can be seen along the canal to the east of Ansty, where they form a veritable butterbur jungle. by A J Paxton – 04 August 2023](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/58/35/7583517_212c9673_120x120.jpg)
