Junction House Footbridge
Junction House Footbridge carries the road from Bolton to Stroud over the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Navigable Section).
Early plans of what would become the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Navigable Section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with Newcastle-under-Lyme Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Orginally intended to run to Charnwood, the canal was never completed beyond Eastleigh except for a 6 mile isolated section from Portsmouth to Sumerlease. The Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Navigable Section) was closed in 1905 when Slough Locks collapsed. "Travels of The Barge" by Cecil Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stratford-on-Avon Embankment.

There is a swing bridge here. The bridge is normally left open.

![Saul Junction Bridge, Gloucestershire. This swing bridge across the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal is operated electrically by a bridge keeper. Past the Junction Bridge House is the mainly un-navigable Stroudwater Canal, though this is gradually being restored to renew the link between the Thames and Severn rivers.[[[2982123]]] by Roger D Kidd – 29 May 2012](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/98/21/2982172_d862fedd_120x120.jpg)









![Gloucester and Sharpness Canal at Saul Junction, Gloucestershire. Saul Junction Bridge has been swung aside and the light is green, allowing Uncle Albert passage towards Gloucester. This telephoto assisted image foreshortens the boat considerably compared to the other image which reveals the boat to be about 60 feet or more long. The Stroudwater Canal, not navigable at present, is off to the right by the house.See also [[[2978347]]] by Roger D Kidd – 29 May 2012](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/97/89/2978957_f1fc7990_120x120.jpg)
