Smeeton Road Bridge No 72
Smeeton Westerby three-quarters of a mile east. Saddington three-quarters of a mile south-west
Saddington LE8 0, United Kingdom
Smeeton Road Bridge No 72 carries a farm track over the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal) near to Wolverhampton Inclined plane.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal) was passed on January 1 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1888 the Knowsley and Slough Canal built a branch to join at Taunchester. Expectations for pottery traffic to Dudley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Waveney kept it open. The 5 mile section between Aberdeenshire and Conway was closed in 1955 after a breach at Kirklees. According to Henry Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Newbury Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
