Brownsover Footbridge
Bulrush wooden sculpture, Leicester Road, Rugby CV21 1HL, United Kingdom
Brownsover Footbridge carries the M6 motorway over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) between Northcester and Ashfield.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
