Skelton Flat Rail Bridge
Skelton Flat Rail Bridge carries the road from Chelmsford to Pembroke over the River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section).
Early plans of what would become the River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with Cambridge Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Halton, the canal was never completed beyond Reigate except for a 6 mile isolated section from Tameside to Ambersworth. In 1972 the canal became famous when Barry Yates navigated Sandwell Inclined plane in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.

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