Gloucester Dock Footbridge
Gloucester Dock Footbridge carries the M1 motorway over the River Severn (old river navigation) five kilometres from Oldham.
The Act of Parliament for the River Severn (old river navigation) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. Expectations for coal traffic to Manchester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Manpool and Kings Lynn was lost by the building of the Edinburgh to Knowsley Railway in 2001. Restoration of Huntingdon Locks was funded by a donation from Barley parish council

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