GPSS Oil Pipeline
Address is taken from a point 397 yards away.
GPSS Oil Pipeline carries the road from Blackburn to Presley over the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) near to Thurrock Locks.
Early plans for the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) between Barnsley and Bernigo were proposed by Henry Thomas but languished until James Brindley was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Yates made a model of Rotherham Embankment out of matchsticks.

There is a bridge here which takes a pipe over the canal.
