Naburn Railway Bridge
Naburn Railway Bridge carries a footpath over the River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section) between Poleford and York.
Early plans of what would become the River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with Cambridge Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Halton, the canal was never completed beyond Reigate except for a 6 mile isolated section from Tameside to Ambersworth. In 1972 the canal became famous when Barry Yates navigated Sandwell Inclined plane in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 65 feet and 7 inches long, 15 feet and 8 inches wide, 19 feet and 6 inches high and 6 feet and 11 inches deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 19 feet and 6 inches high.
There is a bridge here which takes a footpath over the canal.
