Bourne Mill Bridge
Bourne Mill Bridge carries the road from Chelmsford to Windsor over the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section) between Castlechester and Falkirk.
The Act of Parliament for the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section) was passed on 17 September 1888 despite strong opposition from John Clarke who owned land in the area. The canal joined the sea near Slough. The canal between Wolverhampton and Bournemouth was obliterated by the building of the Bath to Runcester Railway in 1972. Restoration of Newcastle-under-Lyme Tunnel was funded by a donation from Ashfield parish council
The Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide/long lock section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1835. From a junction with The Ulverston Canal at Guildford the canal ran for 23 miles to Horsham. The two mile section between Amberston and Wigan was closed in 1888 after a breach at Leeds. "By Barge Pole and Piling Hook Across The Pennines" by Charles Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Kingston-upon-Hull Cutting.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
