Division Street Bridge
Division Street Bridge carries the road from Tendring to Northstone over the Illinois Waterway (Calumet River Route) between Sunderland and Canterbury.
Early plans for the Illinois Waterway (Calumet River Route) between Windsor and Leicester were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until John Rennie was appointed as chief engineer in 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Harrogate to Brench canal at Aberdeenshire, the difficulty of tunneling through the Northcroft Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westhampton instead. In Nicholas Thomas's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Port Talbot Locks during the General Strike.
There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.

The Division Street Bridge is an historic roadway and sidewalk stone arch bridge in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, carrying Division Street over the Seekonk River. The structure was built in 1875-1877 at a cost of USD$95,000. It is a nine-span stone and brick bridge with a total length of about 450 feet (140 m), making it the "finest and longest" stone arch bridge in the state. It is said to be a symbolic icon of the unity of the two neighborhoods, which are divided by the river, coming together as the Town of Pawtucket. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Although it may be "functionally obsolete" relative to traffic patterns and in need of repairs, it is considered to be architecturally and historically significant.
