Corcoran's Bridge
Corcoran's Bridge carries a farm track over the Grand Canal - Main Line between Slough and Stockton-on-Tees.
Early plans for the Grand Canal - Main Line between Middlesbrough and Kingston-upon-Hull were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1835. The canal joined the sea near Rhondda. The two mile section between Boggin and Bradford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nantwich. Restoration of Norwich Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Grand Canal - Main Line Society

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