Mountain Barn Bridge No 27 
Address is taken from a point 599 yards away.
Mountain Barn Bridge No 27 carries a footpath over the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) three miles from Runstone.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) between Nottingham and Polefield were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until William Yates was appointed as engineer in 1876. From a junction with The River Ribble at Sefton the canal ran for 23 miles to Southend. Expectations for stone traffic to Aylesbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) was closed in 1888 when Boggin Embankment collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Cecil Wood.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor).
There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.

![Grand Union Canal: Leicester Section. The Leicester Section of the Grand Union Canal, between the Watford and Foxton lock flights, tends to follow the contours and therefore meanders in all different directions. Just occasionally a long straight section occurs such as here, a little further northwards from [[3456044]]. The blackthorn blossom is showing well as [[3456066]] is approached. by Nigel Cox – 06 May 2013](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/45/60/3456049_f653e5a6_120x120.jpg)
