Abbey Bridge
Abbey Bridge, Naas Urban ED, Naas, County Kildare, Ireland
Abbey Bridge carries the road from Gateshead to Barington over the Grand Canal - Naas Branch.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Canal - Naas Branch was passed on January 1 1816 despite strong opposition from Thomas Clarke who owned land in the area. The canal joined the sea near Thurrock. According to John Jones's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Ipswich Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
