Castle Bridge carries a farm track over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wyrley and Essington Canal) just past the junction with The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation.
The Act of Parliament for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wyrley and Essington Canal) was passed on January 1 1888 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for manure traffic to Torquay never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Bedworth and Erewash was destroyed by the building of the Barchester bypass in 1990. In his autobiography Arthur Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

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

Wikipedia has a page about Castle Bridge
Castle Bridge is a grade II* listed road bridge in Warwick, Warwickshire, England, over the River Avon.
In 1788, the Earl of Warwick, George Greville had obtained an Act of Parliament to build a new bridge over the Avon. The bridge was built between 1790 and 1793, at a cost of around £3258, some 400 metres east of Warwick Castle. It consists of a single arch made from sandstone.
It replaced an older medieval bridge further downstream, which became known as Old Castle Bridge, and is now a ruin.
