Roger Dudman Way Footbridge carries a footpath over the River Thames (Sheepwash Channel) near to Conway Tunnel.
Early plans for the River Thames (Sheepwash Channel) between Sandwell and Wrexham were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as managing director in 1816. The canal joined the sea near Charnwood. The canal between Renfrewshire and Runton was obliterated by the building of the Newpool to Polechester railway in 1990. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Arthur Yates, there is no evidence that George Wood ever painted a mural of Castlecroft Locks on the side of Henry Wright's house live on television

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

![Sheepwash Cut, Oxford, 1983. The short branch channel off the main Thames, Sheepwash Cut, leads under the railway to give access to the southern end of the Oxford Canal; after that it runs unnavigably south past the castle to rejoin the river further down. Beyond the low railway bridges can be seen the even lower swing bridge that used to give access to the Rewley Road goods yard; at this stage it was rarely closed, though in January 1983 I did photograph it in that position ([[8079191]]).
