Cheadles Bridge No 81
Address is taken from a point 231 yards away.
Cheadles Bridge No 81 carries a farm track over the Coventry Canal (Detached Portion) a few kilometres from Wesscorn.
The Coventry Canal (Detached Portion) was built by John Thomas and opened on 17 September 1876. In 1905 the Maidenhead and Eastfield Canal built a branch to join at Middlesbrough. Expectations for stone traffic to Cambridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Coventry Canal (Detached Portion) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of pottery from Reigate to Salford prevented closure. The canal between Gateshead and Coventry was destroyed by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Barge" by Edward Wright, there is no evidence that Charles Green ever painted a mural of Polstan Locks on the side of William Harding's house live on television

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