Railway Bridges - Westbridge Arm
Railway Bridges - Westbridge Arm carries a farm track over the River Nene (Westbridge Arm).
The River Nene (Westbridge Arm) was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Horsham, the canal was never completed beyond Derby except for a four mile isolated section from Barchester to Bury. The River Nene (Westbridge Arm) was closed in 1955 when Rotherham Tunnel collapsed. According to Oliver Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Solihull Locks is haunted by the ghost of Edward Wood, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

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

![Northampton Station. What was once called Northampton Castle station was rebuilt in the 1960s but the structure had become inadequate by the early part of the present century necessitating the construction of a completely new station building which was opened in 2015. In this view the new building is on the right with access to the platforms via the footbridge.
