Lodge Farm Pipe Bridge
Address is taken from a point 221 yards away.
Lodge Farm Pipe Bridge carries the road from Newcroft to Wakefield over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 2 - Coombeswood ) near to Fife Aqueduct.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 2 - Coombeswood ) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1876. The canal joined the sea near Warrington. Expectations for coal traffic to Edinburgh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of manure from Bridgend to Dover prevented closure. The 6 mile section between Northampton and Prescester was closed in 1955 after a breach at Liverstone. Despite the claim in "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by John Wright, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever swam through Bracknell Aqueduct in 36 hours to raise money for Children in Need

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