Allington Swing Bridge No 129

 
Allington Lane, Allington SN10 3NJ, United Kingdom
Address is taken from a point 303 yards away.
 

Allington Swing Bridge No 129 carries a farm track over the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) between Tiverhampton and Aylesbury.

The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
