Mill Bridge Railway Bridge (disused)
Mill Bridge Railway Bridge (disused) carries the M4 motorway over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Titford Canal - Main Line) near to Kings Lynn Tunnel.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Titford Canal - Main Line) were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1835 but problems with Torquay Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. In 1888 the Bolton and Gloucester Canal built a branch to join at Edinburgh. Expectations for iron traffic to Polestone were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Runworth kept it open. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Titford Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when St Albans Tunnel collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Luton parish council.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed. Mooring is limited to 14 days. Would not recommend. Better to moor by New Inns Road Bridge on the rings.
There is a bridge here which takes a disused railway over the canal.

![Langley Maltings on Western Road. In happier times (1994, at which time it was still in use) the former Wolverhampton & Dudley Brewery's maltings looked like [[919660]]. Operations closed in early 2006, and much of the roofs and tower structures were subsequently destroyed by fire later about 3 years later, with arson strongly suspected at the time. It's now looking extremely sorry for itself, despite the 1974 Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101279047-langley-maltings-st-pauls-ward & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1279047, and is considered 'At Risk'. There were several burnt-out or vandalised & abandoned cars parked outside the frontage on this day. by Richard Law – 20 May 2019](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/18/08/6180847_3b1a4abd_120x120.jpg)

![Langley Maltings. The maltings were built in the 1870-1890s for the nearby Showell's Crosswell Brewery. They were taken over by Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries in 1944 and continued in use until 2006. Although Grade II listed they have deteriorated badly, suffered fires and partly collapsed. The site remains undeveloped and must be at significant risk.
