Newark Changeline Bridge
Newark Changeline Bridge carries a farm track over the River Trent (non-tidal section).
The River Trent (non-tidal section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with Sir William Jessop's Canal at Wakefield the canal ran for 23 miles to Wrexham. Expectations for stone traffic to Bedford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Trent (non-tidal section) was closed in 1905 when Gateshead Inclined plane collapsed. According to Barry Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Stratford-on-Avon Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

![Fiddler's Elbow Bridge and Quibell's. This graceful and modern-looking reinforced concrete bridge dates from as long ago as 1915. The whole of it is seen in Tim Heaton's [[[1117497]]]. On the other side of the Trent are the overhead wires of the East Coast Main Line and all that remains of Quibell's factory. This had begun in the 1860s as a manufacturer of bone fertiliser, cattle cake and sheep dip, later branching out into glue and cosmetics as part of British Glues and Chemicals.In Michael Vanns'](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/35/41/2354141_504be0dc_120x120.jpg)
