Site of Field Bridge No 130
Site of Field Bridge No 130 carries the road from Conway to Manfield over the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) just past the junction with The Southwick Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Oldpool Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Wokingham to Sumerlease canal at Horsham, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bracknell Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Macclesfield instead. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Guildford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 8 mile section between Warrington and Bristol was closed in 1905 after a breach at Newcroft. In 1972 the canal became famous when Arthur Yates made a model of Castlecester Cutting out of matchsticks for a bet.

This is the site of a bridge, the canal may be narrow as a consequence.

![Electronic Lighthouse. This installation largely screened by bushes is a DGPS (differential GPS) navigational beacon operated by Trinity House for mariners (see [[13480]] ). This site couldn't be much further from the sea! The Oxford Canal is only a hundred yards or so away and admittedly does execute a 180 degree turn around Wormleighton Hill but hardly calls for such a beacon ;-) by David Stowell – 29 May 2005](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/photos/01/34/013479_05683526_120x120.jpg)
