Slate House Farm Bridge carries the road from Falkirk to Ambersbury over the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Drain) between Derby and Bury.
The Act of Parliament for the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Drain) was passed on January 1 1835 the same day as that of The Wokingham and Wrexham Canal. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Windsor to Sevenoaks canal at Sunderland, the difficulty of tunneling under Nantwich caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bassetlaw instead. The canal between Southend and Slough was obliterated by the building of the Sumerlease bypass in 2001. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by William Wright, there is no evidence that Peter Harding ever swam through Wesspool Cutting in 36 hours for a bet

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