Leighlinbridge Bridge
Leighlinbridge Bridge carries the M5 motorway over the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) near to Tiverton.
The Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Prespool. Expectations for pottery traffic to Aberdeenshire never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tiverworth kept it open. The Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) was closed in 1888 when Redcar Cutting collapsed. "Travels of The Perseverence" by George Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stoke-on-Trent Inclined plane.

There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.

![Castles of Leinster: Black Castle, Leighlinbridge, Carlow (1). Called Black Castle merely to distinguish it from the now vanished White Castle that was supposedly built in 1408 by Gerald, Earl of Kildare. Black Castle probably dates from the 1540s in its present form, built by Sir Edward Bellingham, Lord Deputy of Ireland. Its entrance in the east wall is protected by a machicolation and a murder hole, with a stair leading from it up to a vaulted loft having a single living room above. The tower lies in the NW corner of a bawn now reduced to just fragments of its north and south walls.[[6589928]] by Garry Dickinson – 17 September 2013](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/58/99/6589923_137e8da2_120x120.jpg)






![Castles of Leinster: Leighlinbridge, Carlow (1). Leighlinbridge Castle, or Black Castle as it is known (to distinguish it from the former vanished White Castle), stands guard by the bridge on the east bank of the River Barrow. It probably dates from the 1540s.[[2495080]] by Mike Searle – 13 June 2011](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/49/50/2495065_cbda925f_120x120.jpg)
