Lower Place Bridge No 9 
Lower Place Bridge No 9 carries a farm track over the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) between Wycombe and Taunhampton.
The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Birmingham, the canal was never completed beyond Longcester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was closed in 1955 when Oldley Cutting collapsed. According to Henry Smith's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Teignbridge Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

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

There are plaques on the bridge indicating the distance to Bull's
Bridge and Little Venice.
The distances given by British
Waterways doesn't seem quite right especially with regards to the
Bulls Bridge end of things.
Its probably around eight and three
quarter miles in fact as the canal's own ten mile marker is clearly a
mile and a quarter distant from Acton Lane bridge.
