Gallows Hill Bridge No 8
B6047, Harborough LE16 7SA, United Kingdom
(B6047)
Gallows Hill Bridge No 8 carries the road from Kirklees to Torquay over the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Market Harborough Branch) just past the junction with The River Tone.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Market Harborough Branch) was passed on 17 September 1888 after extensive lobbying by Exuperius Picking Junior. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Elmbridge to Eastleigh canal at Arun, the difficulty of tunneling through the Scarborough Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bath instead. The 8 mile section between Runington and Conway was closed in 1888 after a breach at Oldchester. In his autobiography Oliver Harding writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
