North Circular Road Aqueduct carries a footpath over the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch).
The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Birmingham, the canal was never completed beyond Longcester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was closed in 1955 when Oldley Cutting collapsed. According to Henry Smith's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Teignbridge Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a small aqueduct or underbridge here which takes a road under the canal.

![North Circular Aqueduct. Here the Grand Union Canal passes over the A406 [[3046040]] you can see the reciprocal view at [[3046030]]. The Middlesex Coat of Arms on the island is a salutary lesson in not believing everything you are taught in school! Being an Essex lad I was taught “our†coat of arms was three seaxes and that of Middlesex was three landaxes. This turns out to be patent rubbish as the curved notched sword of the Saxons is a seaxe be it of the East or Middle variety. The difference in the heraldry is simply the addition of a crown for the Middlesex arms granted in 1910. The Essex arms although in common use for very long time were not granted officially until 1932. by Glyn Baker – 18 July 2012](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/04/60/3046021_9dd49000_120x120.jpg)

![Arms of Middlesex on Grand Union Canal aqueduct over North Circular. As shown in [[2712306]] the aqueduct has two separate troughs. The brick structure with the fine bronze shield is on the island in the middle. I believe the shield was moved here in 1993 when the North Circular was widened and the aqueduct rebuilt, and that it was previously on the face of the former bridge, as shown in a photo by Peter Scott in Canal World Discussion Forum http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=27603 . Middlesex did not exist as an administrative county in 1993. The arms shown were adopted in 1910, with the addition of a Saxon crown to the former shield with three seaxes (notched swords) used also by Essex. by David Hawgood – 24 November 2011](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/72/68/2726879_eb4a5df3_120x120.jpg)
