Ridleys Bridge No 88
Address is taken from a point 576 yards away.
Ridleys Bridge No 88 carries the road from Longington to Stoke-on-Trent over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) near to Barnsley Aqueduct.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

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