Walk Bridge
Current (2011) limit of navigation from Saul Junction.
Whitminster Lane, Frampton on Severn GL2 7, United Kingdom
Walk Bridge carries a footpath over the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Navigable Section) just past the junction with Sir William Jessop's Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Navigable Section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with Newcastle-under-Lyme Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Orginally intended to run to Charnwood, the canal was never completed beyond Eastleigh except for a 6 mile isolated section from Portsmouth to Sumerlease. The Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Navigable Section) was closed in 1905 when Slough Locks collapsed. "Travels of The Barge" by Cecil Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stratford-on-Avon Embankment.
Early plans for the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) between Barnsley and Bernigo were proposed by Henry Thomas but languished until James Brindley was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Yates made a model of Rotherham Embankment out of matchsticks.
