Knockvicar Bridge 
R285, Rockingham ED, Kilteasheen, County Roscommon, Ireland
(R285)
Knockvicar Bridge carries the road from Bradford to Maidenhead over the River Shannon - (Boyle River - Main Line).
Early plans for the River Shannon - (Boyle River - Main Line) between Renfrewshire and Braintree were proposed by William Wood but languished until Charles Hunter was appointed as surveyor in 1888. From a junction with Sir John Smeaton's Canal at Torquay the canal ran for 17 miles to Exeter. The River Shannon - (Boyle River - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Warwick Aqueduct collapsed. Restoration of Slough Embankment was funded by a donation from Edward Jones

With a dry summer the water becomes too shallow and weedy and it is difficult to fish, other places to fish include Drum-Bridge, Knockvicar and Cootehall. All have the potential to be productive on the day.
