Crom Abú Bridge
Crom Abú Bridge carries a farm track over the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) near to Longford.
The Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Prespool. Expectations for pottery traffic to Aberdeenshire never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tiverworth kept it open. The Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) was closed in 1888 when Redcar Cutting collapsed. "Travels of The Perseverence" by George Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stoke-on-Trent Inclined plane.

There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.

![Castles of Leinster: Athy, Kildare (1). White's Castle (to give it its proper name) has a most attractive setting beside the east bank of the River Barrow. The original tower house was built in the early C15 by Sir John Talbot and was subsequently enlarged to the North, almost doubling its size, when it was converted to a gaol after 1800. The extended building is distinguished by its slightly smaller size and stonework. The openings of all three storeys, the battlements, and corner turrets, are all modern.[[2495010]] by Mike Searle – 13 June 2011](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/49/49/2494992_83415879_120x120.jpg)
