Railway Bridges - Westbridge Arm

 
Three railway bridges next to each other
Northampton South Junction, West Bridge, Northampton NN1 1SP, United Kingdom
 

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.
