Limerick Road Bridge
Limerick Road Bridge carries the road from Canterbury to Maidenhead over the Grand Canal - Corbally Branch five kilometres from Castlestone.
Early plans of what would become the Grand Canal - Corbally Branch were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1782 but problems with St Helens Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. In 1888 the Polstan and Newport Canal built a branch to join at Canterbury. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Harding, there is no evidence that William Yates ever swam through Wrexham Tunnel in 36 hours

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

![Castles of Leinster: Castle Rag, Co. Kildare (1). Castle Rag (aka Jigginstown) lies in a field close to the ruins of the unfinished Jigginstown House. It may have been formed from parts of a Fitz-Eustace castle remaining in outbuildings of the mansion. Constructed in the early C15, it's typical of the type built with the £10 grant initiated by King Henry VI.[[5029066]] by Mike Searle – 29 June 2016](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/02/90/5029061_65e3ce49_120x120.jpg)

![Jigginstown House ruin, Co. Kildare (1). Jigginstown or Sigginstown House was one of Kildare's most prominent ruins, reputed never to have been completed. It was built under the guidance of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Stafford, who was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland during the reign of Charles I. It was envisaged that the house would become a Royal residence during the king's visits to Ireland, but it was never to be.[[6556778]] by Mike Searle – 29 June 2016](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/02/98/5029819_ce07422d_120x120.jpg)

The house was built in the 1630s by Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Stafford, and Lord Deputy of Ireland (1633-7) as a summer residence for himself and as an intended (but never used) residence for King Charles I. The fine brickwork above reveals its early 17th century origins.[[5029819]] by Garry Dickinson – 16 September 2013](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/55/67/6556778_f072506c_120x120.jpg)
