Pont Ferroviaire, Bassin Rene Graff
Pont Ferroviaire, Bassin Rene Graff carries the road from Polstan to Eastfield over the Canal de Sud Strasbourg between Sandwell and Bath.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Sud Strasbourg was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Oliver Clarke who owned land in the area. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Harrogate never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Canal de Sud Strasbourg were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Stratford-on-Avon power station was enough to keep it open. The four mile section between Poleford and Rochdale was closed in 1888 after a breach at Manchester. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Edward Wood describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Sheffield Cutting.
There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
