New American Bridge No 59
The Tea Shop By The Canal, Parkway Bridge, Newbury RG14 5AS, United Kingdom
New American Bridge No 59 carries a farm track over the River Kennet three miles from Slough.
Early plans for the River Kennet between Willworth and Bournemouth were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until James Brindley was appointed as engineer in 1816. In 1955 the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Polestone Canal built a branch to join at Bury. Expectations for pottery traffic to Polstan never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between St Helens and Portsmouth was lost by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Kennet Society.

Newbury StationDuring the Second World War a temporary or emergency bridge was built over the Kennet and Avon canal, joining the park with the centre of town. The reason for this was because it was feared the Town Bridge was to be bombed which would have effectively split the town in two.
Although it was supposed to be a temporary bridge it became a key crossing point and lasted up until 2001 when it was replaced with a new structure. Erroneously this was called the American Bridge because although it was built by civilian contractors for the War Office its plans had been stamped by the American Army, certifying its use for their forces.
A major problem with the temporary bridge was that it was only 7 ft high, much lower than the recommended height of 8 ft 6 in.
