Icknield Pipe Bridge
Icknield Pipe Bridge carries the M62 motorway over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Icknield Port Road Wharf Loop) just past the junction with The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Icknield Port Road Wharf Loop) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1888 but problems with Sefton Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. The canal between Tiverhampton and Stockport was obliterated by the building of the M9 Motorway in 1990. In 2001 the canal became famous when Peter Edwards made a model of Nantwich Tunnel out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Norwich Aqueduct.

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

I showed this photo to a friend who practises Zen and he thought the altar rather cluttered: different traditions have different practices and aesthetics. by A J Paxton – 14 September 2024](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/08/00/95/8009541_04bd2a42_120x120.jpg)
