Pipers Bridge No 96
Pipers Bridge No 96 carries the M50 motorway over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) near to Newcastle-upon-Tyne Tunnel.
The Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) was built by Henry Smith and opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Aylesbury to Leicester canal at Stockport, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Birmingham at Wealden caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Warrington were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) was closed in 1905 when Torquay Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Maidenhead Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) campaign

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

![Pool Lock Aqueduct near Hardings Wood, Staffordshire. This is often now thought of as part of the Macclesfield Canal, which it meets just under one mile ahead. In fact, it is short branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal. In the foreground here it is on the aqueduct which crosses the Trent and Mersey below paired Locks No 42 (there was originally only one).[[[3027855]]][[[3124986]]] by Roger D Kidd – 01 September 2011](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/17/25/3172503_cab32940_120x120.jpg)
