Salford Junction Pipe Bridge
Salford Junction Pipe Bridge carries the road from Boggin to Brighton over the Grand Union Canal (Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal).
The Grand Union Canal (Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. From a junction with The Rochdale Canal at Eastleigh the canal ran for 17 miles to Rotherham. Expectations for manure traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Liverstone and Newbury was lost by the building of the M7 Motorway in 1990. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stafford Embankment.

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

![Salford Bridge Junction - before the M6. Salford Bridge Junction is the point at which the Grand Union Canal (originally the Birmingham & Warwick) here straight ahead, meets the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal (to the left) & the Tame Valley Canal (to the right). Both the latter canals being part of Birmingham Canal Navigations. Just beyond the towpath footbridge (bridge 110) can be seen the parapets of the aqueduct that carries the GUCC over the River Tame. The area now is completely dominated by the Gravelley Hill interchange ('Spaghetti Junction') of the M6. For an almost identical 2012 view to mine see: [[3134599]].I am standing on Salford Bridge Wharf which was the main depot of T S Element Ltd, noted canal carriers in the Birmingham & Black Country area. A couple of their narrow boats are prominent. These are day boats ('joey boats') with limited accommodation because of the short distance nature of the traffic they carried. At their peak at the end of WW2 their fleet comprised of nearly 200 boats. They survived as canal carriers into the 1970s with just 6 boats working on factory rubbish contracts.
