East Manley Bridge carries the road from Wealden to St Albans over the Grand Western Canal just past the junction with The Lancaster Canal.
The Grand Western Canal was built by Charles Green and opened on January 1 1888. In 1905 the Southstone and Manchester Canal built a branch to join at Gloucester. Expectations for stone traffic to Wessfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Grand Western Canal Trust.

![East Manley Bridge, Grand Western Canal, from the west. Seen from a self-drive hire boat, which has just passed through. This section of broad canal opened in 1814, as the Tiverton branch of the Grand Western Canal. Much of the main route remained unbuilt, although a length in Somerset opened in 1839 [closing 28 years later]. This section was acquired by Devon County Council in 1971 and now forms the Grand Western Canal Country Park and Local Nature Reserve. by Christine Johnstone – 02 July 2014](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/08/55/4085559_814b4ae7_120x120.jpg)





















![East Manley, Grand Western Canal. East Manley bridge is as far as the horse drawn barge trips run, and here the barge horse, a welsh cob, had been taken into the shade to rest. The barge is turned here and the passengers can go on foot to see the rebuilt aqueduct over the former GWR Tiverton branchline before the barge returns to Tiverton.
