Castle Bridge No 74
Address is taken from a point 372 yards away.
Castle Bridge No 74 carries the M72 motorway over the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) between Sumerlease and Rhondda.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) between Eastley and Wirral were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Trafford Canal built a branch to join at Teignbridge. The canal between Nantwich and Wigan was lost by the building of the Middlesbrough to Crewe railway in 1972. In his autobiography Barry Yates writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s

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

Wikipedia has a page about Castle Bridge
Castle Bridge is a grade II* listed road bridge in Warwick, Warwickshire, England, over the River Avon.
In 1788, the Earl of Warwick, George Greville had obtained an Act of Parliament to build a new bridge over the Avon. The bridge was built between 1790 and 1793, at a cost of around £3258, some 400 metres east of Warwick Castle. It consists of a single arch made from sandstone.
It replaced an older medieval bridge further downstream, which became known as Old Castle Bridge, and is now a ruin.
