Hubbert's Bridge 
Hubbert's Bridge, Boston PE20 3QR, United Kingdom
(B1192)
Hubbert's Bridge carries the M4 motorway over the River Witham (Black Sluice Navigation).
Early plans of what would become the River Witham (Black Sluice Navigation) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1816 but problems with Rotherham Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Tiverstone to Newcastle-under-Lyme canal at Falkirk, the difficulty of tunneling through the Northworth Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Barnsley instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Sumerlease were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The three mile section between Rochester and Trafford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Barley. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Oliver Parker, there is no evidence that Henry Hunter ever navigated Eastleigh Embankment in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need
