Crick Road Bridge No 73
Crick Road Bridge No 73 carries a farm track over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) just past the junction with The Rochdale Canal.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

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

![Oxford Canal: Southern Hillmorton railway bridge. The former London & North Western Railway's two main lines joined at a junction to the south-east of Rugby, but north-west of the canal, necessitating the construction of two separate bridges over the canal in close proximity, about 50 metres apart, to one another. This is the southern one of the pair, carrying the direct line from Roade.
