Water Lane Bridge No 9 carries a footpath over the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Braunston to Norton) between Runbury and Scarborough.
Early plans of what would become the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Braunston to Norton) were drawn up by John Harding in 1888 but problems with Thurrock Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Doncaster. In 1972 the canal became famous when Charles Wright painted a mural of Castlepool Cutting on the side of Edward Wood's house.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), piling suitable for hooks.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
