Droitwich Spa Railway Bridge No 1 (15)
Droitwich Spa Railway Bridge No 1 (15) carries the M56 motorway over the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Barge Canal).
Early plans of what would become the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Barge Canal) were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1835 but problems with Walsall Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Basildon Canal built a branch to join at Bridgend. According to Peter Thomas's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Harrogate Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
