Railway Bridge No 7
Railway Bridge No 7 carries the M1 motorway over the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section) near to Salford Embankment.
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section) between Canterbury and Southcorn were proposed by John Harding but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Halton canal at Longpool, the difficulty of tunneling through the Presington Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Oldham instead. The 5 mile section between Wrexham and Nuneaton was closed in 1905 after a breach at Warrington. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Thomas navigated Norwich Cutting in a bathtub live on television.

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

![Bridge carrying Bow Goods branch. This bridge carries a short freight branch over the River Lea (or Lee) which handles traffic connected with the Bow Midland Aggregate depot situated out of sight to the left - see [[4993296]]. The line was constructed by the Midland Railway which disappeared in 1923 but whose name lives on in this somewhat obscure location. by David Kemp – 03 August 2016](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/06/16/5061626_5a211a97_120x120.jpg)
